Mud is mankind in the moulding, Heaven's mystery unfolding - Robert W. Service

But I want to state, and my words are straight, and I'll bet my poke they're true,
That one of you is a hound of hell . . . and that one is Dan McGrew.

Just have one more try - it's dead easy to die,
It's the keeping-on-living that's hard.

And the heavens scowled, and the huskies howled, and the wind began to blow.
It was icy cold, but the hot sweat rolled down my cheeks, and I don’t know why;
And the greasy smoke in an inky cloak went streaking down the sky.
