Robert William Service
Robert William Service was born on January 16, 1874 to a Scottish bank clerk and the daughter of an English factory owner.
At the age of 15 he followed his father into the banking business, but in 1896 he emigrated to Canada where he joined his younger brother in an experiment in ranching. The life of a farmer in British Columbia, however, was far from his expectations and after 18 months he set off for California.
For the next 6 years Service drifted up and down the Pacific coast. In 1903, finding himself broke in Vancouver, he applied to and was hired by the Canadian Bank of Commerce and won a posting in Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory.
Here Service found the western life he had sought, with its balance of a frontier sort of social life and the solitude of the northern woods.
Songs of a Sourdough (reissued as The Spell of the Yukon ) was published to some success.
In 1908 he was transformed 400 miles north to Dawson where he composed and published Ballads of a Cheechako and, the following year, resigned from the bank in order to write full time.

Robert W. Service (1874-1958)
The Song of the Wage-slave
When the long, long day is over, and the Big Boss gives me my pay, I hope that it won't be hell-fire, as some of the parsons say. And I hope that it won't be heaven, with some of the parsons I've met All I want is just quiet, just to rest and forget. Look at my face, toil-furrowed; look at my calloused hands; Master, I've done Thy bidding, wrought in Thy many lands Wrought for the little masters, big-bellied they be, and rich; I've done their desire for a daily hire, and I die like a dog in a ditch. I have used the strength Thou hast given, Thou knowest I did not shirk; Threescore years of labor Thine be the long day's work. And now, Big Master, I'm broken and bent and twisted and scarred, But I've held my job, and Thou knowest, and Thou wilt not judge me hard. Thou knowest my sins are many, and often I've played the fool Whiskey and cards and women, they made me the devil's tool. I was just like a child with money; I flung it away with a curse

    We've got to make Fort Liard quick.
    I know the river's bad,
    But, oh! the little woman's sick . . .
    Why! don't you savvy, lad?"
    And me! Well, yes, I must confess It wasn't hard to see Their little family group of two Would soon be one of three. And so I answered, careless-like: "Why, Bill! you don't suppose I'm scared of that there 'babbling brook'? A real live man was Barb-wire Bill, With insides copperlined; For "barb-wire" was the brand of "hooch" To which he most inclined. They knew him far; his igloos are On Kittiegazuit strand. They knew him well, the tribes who dwell Within the Barren land. From Koyokuk to Kuskoquim His fame was everywhere; And he did love, all life above, That little Julie Claire, The lithe, white slave-girl he had bought For seven hundred skins, And taken to his wickiup To make his moccasins.

    It isn't the foe that we fear;

    It isn't the snipers who seek To nip our young hopes in the bud: No, it isn't the guns, And it isn't the Huns It's the MUD, MUD, MUD. It isn't the melee we mind. That often is rather good fun.

    My glass is filled, my pipe is lit,
    My den is all a cosy glow;
    And snug before the fire I sit,
    And wait to feel the old year go.
    I dedicate to solemn thought Amid my too-unthinking days, This sober moment, sadly fraught With much of blame, with little praise. Old Year! upon the Stage of Time You stand to bow your last adieu; A moment, and the prompter's chime Will ring the curtain down on you. Your mien is sad, your step is slow; You falter as a Sage in pain; Yet turn, Old Year, before you go, And face your audience again.

    Biographies of the featured poets Li Po (Japanese Rihaku) (701-762) Chinese poet, one of the greatest figures of Chinese literature. Li Po (or Li Bai) was born into the minor nobility in what is now Sichuan (Szechwan) Province. After an apprenticeship with a Daoist hermit and a time of wandering, he lived briefly as a poet at the Tang dynasty court in Changan but left as the result of intrigue. Then he returned to a life of Daoist study and carefree reflective wandering, writing poems and enjoying nature and the pleasures of wine, supplied free by the emperor's orders. According to legend, Li Po was drowned while drunkenly leaning from a boat to embrace the Moon's reflection on the water. Poem: "Lament of the Frontier Guard" John Donne (1572 -1631) A noted english poet and essayist, Donne sailed with the Earl of Essex and Sir Walter Raleigh in the naval expeditions against Cadiz in August 1596, where the inspiration for his poem "The Burnt Ship" occurred. Walt Whitman (1819-1892) During the Civil War Whitman ministered to wounded soldiers in Union army hospitals in Washington, D.C. He remained there, working as a government clerk, until 1873, when he suffered a stroke that left him partially paralysed. Poem: "Come up from the fields, Father"
