MUSHER AND SOURDOUGH
(To those courageous men who
faced the northern wilds and soli
tudes in search of the golden
treasure).
(By Bert W. Harris—Sourdough)
I sing of the brave and the strong
tonight,
To Musher and sourdough;
In fancy again old times recall
This song of the long ago
A song of the long ago I’ll write
to-night,
To those who travelled afar;
To the musher and sourdough who
smiled,
And panned where life’s trea
sures are.
This ditty to those who blazed new
' trails—
Made marks thru pathless wilds
To musher and sourdough this
song,
To those who tried and smiled.
To those who failed and smiled I
sing,
Who faced the storms and the
snow;
Who prodded the huskies along the
trails
Where frozen tundras blow.
So go with me in the mystic train,
In fancy old times begile
As we sing of musher and sour-1
dough—
To those who could mush and
smile.
To those of the pack, and pick,
and pan
l Who faced the blinding snow,
j I sing to the boys who had the guts,
To harness their dogs and go.
To the boys with the courage I
sing to-night
Who at Nome in the frozen sand,
Had the courage to claim life’s
richest prize,
With a maul, and a pick, and a
pan
Of golden days I sing my lads,
Of the “Land just over the hill”;
Where the tenderfoot never dared
to go
All hail to the men with a will!
To Dawson, Klondike, Iditarod.
Wends this mystic vanguard
train;
Now south, now north, now east,
now west,
j They followed their dogs for gain.
Of better days I sing my friends,!
When men were men, and strong;
When the Golden Rule was the only
law,
And justice balanced the wrong.
When dust was coin and prosperity
Beckoned on every hand;
I sing of the days that lie in the
past, j
When men sought the placer to
pan
When pay was gold and dirt was
pay,
I fancy that none can revile,
Those wonderful, better days of
gold
When men could mush, and smile.
This dream of musher and sour
dough,
In fend recollection’s flight,
Of men who toiled in the golden
sands,
My thoughts return to-night.
So I’ll close this rhyme of the mys
tic train,
—Old memories languish so,
All hail, you mutts, to the courage
and guts
Of the musher and sourdough!
