Poetry: Sonnets

Reflections on the Great White North
Sonnet II: "Alaska My Lady"



I deem thee both my lover and my friend

A guide though unforeseen of worth untold

So clear from first embrace until the end

That I would be a member of thy fold

We rugged suitors, solitary all

Do court thee in our silent revelries

A malcontented rabble with the gall

To pine away our lives among the trees

Our hearts, our minds, our souls with thee to stay

No thoughts of former friends or former shores

All sorrows past and present float away

With thee O' Lady pulling at the oars

Forevermore to lead our course aright

By sweet Aurora's everlasting light
