It's coming soon and soon, mother, it's nearer every day,
When only men who work and sweat will have a word to say;
When all who earn their honest bread in every land and soil
Will claim the Brotherhood of Man, the Comradeship of Toil;
When we, the Workers, all demand: What are we fighting for?'...
Then, then we'll end that stupid crime, that devil's madness — War.

Robert Service

Some say God was tired when he made it [the land of Alaska];
Some say it's a fine land to shun;
Maybe; but there's some as would trade it
For no land on earth—and I'm one.

Robert Service

Let us probe the silent places, let us seek what luck betides us; Let us journey to a lonely land I know. There's a whisper on the night-wind, there's a star agleam to guide us, And the Wild is calling, calling... let us go.
