Who is Robert Service
Robert William Service (January 16, 1874 – September 11, 1958) was a British-Canadian poet and writer who has often been called "the Bard of the Yukon". He is best known for his poems "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" and "The Cremation of Sam McGee", from his first book, Songs of a Sourdough (1907; also published as The Spell of the Yukon and Other Verses). His vivid descriptions of the Yukon and its people made it seem that he was a veteran of the Klondike Gold Rush, instead of the late-arriving bank clerk he was. Although his work remains popular, Service's poems were initially received as being crudely comical works, but he became a wealthy author and lived very comfortably on proceeds from his writing..mw-parser-output .toclimit-2 .toclevel-1 ul,.mw-parser-outp...

That' what evr you do you can't put the lid on that crazy feeling Love. ... - You And Me
I'm part of people I have known
And they are part of me;
The seeds of thought that I have sown
In other minds I see....
