Excerpt from June Days on Alaska WatersJune Days on Alaska WatersOut from the Golden City, out of the Golden Gate, A steamer sailed one morning, filled with passengers and freight, And turned her course due northward - she was bound for Puget Sound, Whose fair and sunny waters wash the shores for miles around.On the steamer's deck was gathered a little group that day, Friends who had started on a trip to a region far away, E'en to Alaska's frozen shores. They wished to see the landOf icebergs, seals and Indians. O happy little band!Their number was the perfect one of twelve - O poet tell, For in a poem like to yours, it would sound so well -That there were just six maidens fair, six strong and valiant knights, Ready to brave all dangers, ready to share all sights.In couples, two and two, to walk upon the steamer decks, Each rescuer to his lady in case of storms and wrecks, And, at last, the journey ended, six couple side by side, To stand before the altar, each bridegroom with his bride.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
