Excerpt from Up in Alaska If you have no tender feeling, And with pride you do not glow When you take out last year's headgear, With its feather, quill or bow, Knowing there's a tragic moment When the first boat deals the blow That your clothes are prehistoric, Then you are a Sourdough. If you listen to the wailing Of the Malamutes who throw In their voices all the wildness Of a wolf in deepest woe, And it soothes you into slumber Like a sweet song soft and low, You can feel that you belong here, And you are a Sourdough. If you say Mush on and Peluk Somewhat carelessly to show That you understand the trail talk And some words of Eskimo, Then remark, The air is balmy; Only thirty-five below, Everyone will surely tell you You've become a Sourdough.
