SONG OF THE SOURDOUGH—1956
V
By VERA BIEOWART
I have an obsession, strong and pure.
It's an old, old story to you, I’m sure.
It drives me on, day in and day out.
The thought that I am never without.
I must reap that harvest centuries old.
That thrill—that glitter—that Vein of Gold !
Come sit with me in my miner’s hovel,
I have a goldpan and a pick and shovel.
The old lure of gold is still manifold:
The streets of Nome efre really lined with gold.
And I must split the streets asunder,
Because the lining is way down under.
And the riches that ran along the beach
Still lie in the Sea within my reach.
Come sit with me in my miner’s hovel,
I have strong coffee and a pick and shovel.
A miner must struggle, he must not be queasy,
Or things become convenient and life is too easy.
I must strive with nature more and more;
Of course, I get my ^ittles at the grocery store.
Of all God’s creatures the most ingenious is Man:
He can store any delicacy in a vacuum can.
Come sit with me in my ihiner’s hovel,
I have a can opener and a pick and shovel.
I must pursue a life of lonely seeking,
With only the mountains and seagulls speaking,
And wander far in my solitude,
Where no man can yet intrude.
It’s difficult to accomplish this feat today,
Where buzzing radios and aeroplanes play.
Come sit with me in my miner’s hovel,
I have a good book and a pick and shovel.
The old lure of gold maintains its magnetism,
But some glamour is lost in its mechanism.
I must “strike it rich” for my satisfaction.
If it just weren’t for all the modern distraction.
I must hold tq my course, be my own jailor,
Or I may give in and become a failure.
Come sit with me in my miner’s hovel,
I have a Television—and a pick and shovel.
