The Great Stikeen Divide

Title:     The Great Stikeen Divide
Author: Hamlin Garland [More Titles by Garland]

A land of mountains based in hills of fir,
Empty, lone, and cold. A land of streams
Whose roaring voices drown the whirr
Of aspen leaves, and fill the heart with dreams
Of dearth and death. The peaks are stern and white
The skies above are grim and gray,
And the rivers cleave their sounding way
Through endless forests dark as night,
Toward the ocean's far-off line of spray.

[The end]
Hamlin Garland's poem: The Great Stikeen Divide
