Pat O'cotter Fight Poems
- 1. Trying
The dream of the white man ever goes out
To the fight that can never be won,
And ever he plans to do the things
That they say can never be done.
... - 2. If
(A Steal from Kipling)
If you can hit the trail in zero weather
And laugh at frozen hand, or foot or face;
... - 3. The Birth Of The Land
For a thousand years the Devil crouched
On the white hot flags of hell:
For a thousand years the Devil cursed
The imps that had chained him well;
... - 4. The Prospector
Where the ragged, snow-capped saw tooth
Cuts the azure of the sky
And watches o'er the lonely land
As ages wander by;
... - 5. The Malamute
When the stars from the skies have fallen
And the smoke of the world's cleared away;
When Saint Peter marks "30" in Life's Book
And we meet there on Judgment Day;
...
