       You who have lived in the land,
           You who have trusted the trail,
       You who are strong to withstand,
           You who are swift to assail:
               Songs have I sung to beguile,
                   Vintage of desperate years,
               Hard as a harlot's smile,
                   Bitter as unshed tears.
       Little of joy or mirth,
           Little of ease I sing;
       Sagas of men of earth
           Humanly suffering,
               Such as you all have done;
                   Savagely faring forth,
               Sons of the midnight sun,
                   Argonauts of the North.
       Far in the land God forgot
           Glimmers the lure of your trail;
       Still in your lust are you taught
           Even to win is to fail.
               Still you must follow and fight
                   Under the vampire wing;
               There in the long, long night
                   Hoping and vanquishing.
       Husbandman of the Wild,
           Reaping a barren gain;
       Scourged by desire, reconciled
           Unto disaster and pain;
               These, my songs, are for you,
                   You who are seared with the brand.
               God knows I have tried to be true;
                   Please God you will understand.
