Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Klondike Clan: A Tale of the Great Stampede Chilkoot Pass And you, too, banged at the Chilkoot, That rock-locked gate to the golden door! These thunder-built steeps have words built to suit, And whether you prayed or whether you swore 'Twere one where it seemed that an oath was a prayer Seemed God couldn't care, Seemed God wasn't there! And you, too, climbed to the Klondike And talked, as a friend, to those five-horned stars! With muckluck shoon and with talspike You, too, bared head to the bars, The heaven-built bars where morning is born. And drank with maiden morn From Klondike's golden horn! And you, too, read by the North lights Such sermons as never men say! You sat and sat with the midnights That sit and that sit all day: You heard the silence, you heard the room. Heard the glory of God in the gloom Where the icebergs boom and boom! Then come to my Sunland, my soldier. Aye, come to my heart and to stay; For better crusader or bolder Bared never a breast to the fray. And whether you prayed or whether you cursed You dared the best and you dared the worst That ever brave man durst. Joaquin Miller.
