The Land God Forgot

by Robert William Service
 The lonely sunsets flare forlorn
 Down valleys dreadly desolate;
The lordly mountains soar in scorn
 As still as death, as stern as fate.

The lonely sunsets flame and die;
 The giant valleys gulp the night;
The monster mountains scrape the sky,
 Where eager stars are diamond-bright.

So gaunt against the gibbous moon,
 Piercing the silence velvet-piled,
A lone wolf howls his ancient rune --
 The fell arch-spirit of the Wild.

O outcast land! O leper land!
 Let the lone wolf-cry all express
The hate insensate of thy hand,
 Thy heart's abysmal loneliness.

Premonition

by Robert William Service
 'Twas a year ago and the moon was bright
 (Oh, I remember so well, so well);
I walked with my love in a sea of light,
 And the voice of my sweet was a silver bell.
 And sudden the moon grew strangely dull,
 And sudden my love had taken wing;
 I looked on the face of a grinning skull,
 I strained to my heart a ghastly thing.

'Twas but fantasy, for my love lay still
 In my arms, with her tender eyes aglow,
And she wondered why my lips were chill,
 Why I was silent and kissed her so.
 A year has gone and the moon is bright,
 A gibbous moon, like a ghost of woe;
 I sit by a new-made grave to-night,
 And my heart is broken -- it's strange, you know.
