The Spell of the Yukon

There's a land where the mountains are nameless,
   And the rivers all run God knows where;
There are lives that are erring and aimless,
   An deaths that just hang by a hair;
There are hardships that nobody reckons;
   There are valleys unpeopled and still;
There's a land.... oh it beckons and beckons,
   And I want to go back.... And I will.
