For My Friend , Born in the Yukon , was such a part of it . Passed away yesterday.. Oh , How the Yukon is such a part of Us all . whether Born there , Passed thru there or Lived there , The Yukon gives & gave Stamp to Us All !!!
Unser Guide rezetierte es oft auf unseren Yukon-Hundeschlittentouren am Lagerfeuer. Das Gedicht wird auf immer mit meinen Erinnerungen an den Yukon verbunden sein und weckt jedes Mal das Fernweh in mir !
I've never listened to anything by Hank Snow, though I recall hearing his name or seeing his record albums in stores of my childhood, many decades ago now. If the singer ever had his own country music TV show, or guested on others, perhaps I saw or heard him in passing but no recollection. I've only just recently discovered the poetry of Robert Service, having no idea that he specialized in commemorative ballads of his years in the Yukon. I've really enjoyed what I've read so far. As for Snow's recording heard here, I enjoyed the hollow, echo effect as he read the poem, which I recognized from my own recent delvings into Service, whose poems bounce along pleasantly with vivid imagery & zingy, zesty rhyming schemes. It was Interesting & fun to hear it done this way by Snow!
Is this a reading about a man seeking the gold ,or a man seeking the meaning of life?......or both at the same time ? I suppose t'depends on what stage of life you are at, but the spirituality it touches, is common in all religions. I listen to this most mornings after my breakfast..... I've been to the Yukon once whilst travelling. Loved it. .......Make it happen, I need to revisit before I get too old. Have a great day
"...was it famine or scurvy... I found it..." -(that's what I'm hearing in this version) There's another that said "...i fought it..." (not sure which is saying it correctly)
So beautiful and peaceful - yet full of emotions and homesickness... Makes me almost cry every time I hear it...
great pictures to accompany the verse. Thanks

How could anyone thumbs down Hank Snow & Robert Service? Must be soulless creatures.
Hank seemed to be born to do Robert Service justice.
My grandfather turned me toward Robert A Service... I never knew what poem was his favorite, but I think this may have been it.
Hi Zach. Hope you don't mind me saying the poets name was Robert W. Service.
Thanks again for this treat.
Wow... that was actually kind of nice. (I REALLY enjoyed the way he re-worded it from what I'm used to) SO relaxing...
Big husky sun,,
Great poetry.

A lot of bitcoin people sing this same song as the boat sinks. Some things never change.
