Poems by Robert William Service
The Healer
... "From blood of turtle I've distilled ...
Flight
... The sea-gull in its flight!Let me not know the soils of woe ...
A Hero
... Three times I beat the foul fiend back ...
Don't Cheer
... . don't cheer.Sow to the ploughing guns ...
Winding Wool
... The best I liked were coloured strands ...
The Man From Eldorado
... Where he lived on tinned tomatoes, beef embalmed and sourdough bread, ...
To The Man Of The High North
... And in strange valleys greet strange deaths alone ...
Futility
... A score of years have gone, they're clean forgot ...
The Little Old Log Cabin
... An' his face is peaked an' gray-like an' his heart gits down an' whines, ...
The Tunnel
... For the poor must be makin' the rich more rich, ...
God's Grief
... " "Lord God of Battles," cries the foe, ...
My Cuckoo Clock
... Cuckoo! Cuckoo!Though ignorance is bliss ...
My Ancestors
... My father's hands were warped with toil, ...
My Coffin
... As starred the blackness of the night ...
The Cat With Wings
... For though frustration has it stings, ...
