The only book that the party had was a volume of Dickens	A
During the six months that they lay in the cave which they	B
had hacked in the ice waiting for spring to come they read	C
this volume through again and again From a	D
newspaper report of an antarctic expedition	E
	-
	-
Huddled within their savage lair	F
They hearkened to the prowling wind	G
They heard the loud wings of despair	F
And madness beat against the mind	G
A sunless world stretched stark outside	H
As if it had cursed God and died	H
Dumb plains lay prone beneath the weight	I
Of cold unutterably great	I
Iron ice bound all the bitter seas	J
The brutal hills were bleak as hate	I
Here none but Death might walk at ease	J
	-
Then Dickens spoke and lo the vast	K
Unpeopled void stirred into life	L
	-
The dead world quickened the mad blast	K
Hushed for an hour its idiot strife	L
With nothingness	M
	-
And from the gloom	N
Parting the flaps of frozen skin	O
Old friends and dear came trooping in	O
And light and laughter filled the room	N
Voices and faces shapes beloved	P
Babbling lips and kindly eyes	Q
Not ghosts but friends that lived and moved	R
They brought the sun from other skies	Q
They wrought the magic that dispels	S
The bitterer part of loneliness	M
And when they vanished each man dreamed	T
His dream there in the wilderness	M
One heard the chime of Christmas bells	S
And staring down a country lane	U
Saw bright against the window pane	U
The firelight beckon warm and red	C
And one turned from the waterside	C
Where Thames rolls down his slothful tide	C
To breast the human sea that beats	V
Through roaring London's battered streets	V
	-
And revel in the moods of men	W
And one saw all the April hills	X
Made glad with golden daffodils	X
And found and kissed his love again	W
	-
	-
	-
By all the troubled hearts he cheers	Y
In homely ways or by lost trails	Z
By all light shed through all dark years	Y
When hope grows sick and courage quails	Z
We hail him first among his peers	Y
Whether we sorrow sing or feast	C
He too hath known and understood	C
Master of many moods high priest	C
Of mirth and lord of cleansing tears	A2
