Where the short legged Esquimaux	A
Waddle in the ice and snow	B
And the playful Polar bear	C
Nips the hunter unaware	C
Where by day they track the ermine	D
And by night another vermin	E
Segment of the frigid zone	F
Where the temperature alone	F
Warms on St Elias' cone	F
Polar dock where Nature slips	A
From the ways her icy ships	A
Land of fox and deer and sable	G
Shore end of our western cable	G
Let the news that flying goes	A
Thrill through all your Arctic floes	A
And reverberate the boast	H
From the cliffs off Beechey's coast	H
Till the tidings circling round	I
Every bay of Norton Sound	I
Throw the vocal tide wave back	J
To the isles of Kodiac	J
Let the stately Polar bears	A
Waltz around the pole in pairs	A
And the walrus in his glee	K
Bare his tusk of ivory	K
While the bold sea unicorn	L
Calmly takes an extra horn	L
All ye Polar skies reveal your	M
Very rarest of parhelia	K
Trip it all ye merry dancers	A
In the airiest of Lancers	A
Slide ye solemn glaciers slide	N
One inch farther to the tide	N
Nor in rash precipitation	D
Upset Tyndall's calculation	D
Know you not what fate awaits you	O
Or to whom the future mates you	O
All ye icebergs make salaam	P
You belong to Uncle Sam	Q
	-
On the spot where Eugene Sue	O
Led his wretched Wandering Jew	O
Stands a form whose features strike	J
Russ and Esquimaux alike	J
He it is whom Skalds of old	R
In their Runic rhymes foretold	R
Lean of flank and lank of jaw	S
See the real Northern Thor	M
See the awful Yankee leering	J
Just across the Straits of Behring	J
On the drifted snow too plain	T
Sinks his fresh tobacco stain	T
Just beside the deep inden	T
Tation of his Number	U
	-
Leaning on his icy hammer	U
Stands the hero of this drama	V
And above the wild duck's clamor	U
In his own peculiar grammar	U
With its linguistic disguises	A
La the Arctic prologue rises	A
Wall I reckon 'tain't so bad	W
Seein' ez 'twas all they had	W
	-
True the Springs are rather late	X
And early Falls predominate	X
But the ice crop's pretty sure	Y
And the air is kind o' pure	Y
'Tain't so very mean a trade	Z
When the land is all surveyed	Z
There's a right smart chance for fur chase	A
All along this recent purchase	A
And unless the stories fail	K
Every fish from cod to whale	K
Rocks too mebbe quartz let's see	K
'Twould be strange if there should be	K
Seems I've heerd such stories told	R
Eh why bless us yes it's gold	R
	-
While the blows are falling thick	J
From his California pick	J
You may recognize the Thor	M
Of the vision that I saw	S
Freed from legendary glamour	U
See the real magician's hammer	U
