See, the austere sky, pensive above you, Dons all her jewels to smile on your rest. SEE THE AUSTERE SKY PENSIVE ABOVE YOU DONS ALL HER JEWELS TO SMILE ON YOUR REST
Top o' the World? Nights when no peril could keep you awake on Spruce boughs you spread for your couch in the snow; Taste all your feasts like the beans and the bacon Fried at the camp-fire at forty below? Can you remember your huskies all going, Barking with joy and their brushes in air; You in your parka, glad-eyed and glowing, Monarch, your subjects the wolf and the bear? Monarch, your kingdom unravisht and gleaming; Mountains your throne, and a river your car; Crash of a bull moose to rouse you from dreaming; Forest your couch, and your candle a star. You who this faint day the High North is luring Unto her vastness, taintlessly sweet; You who are steel-braced, straight-lipped, enduring, Dreadless in danger and dire in defeat: Honor the High North ever and ever, Whether she crown you, or whether she slay; Suffer her fury, cherish and love her-- He who would rule he must learn to obey. Men of the High North, fierce mountains love you; Proud rivers leap when you ride on their breast. G THERE WITH YOUR SOUL ON THE TOP OF THE WORLD NIGHTS WHEN NO PERIL COULD KEEP YOU AWAKE ON SPRUCE BOUGHS YOU SPREAD FOR YOUR COUCH IN THE SNOW TASTE ALL YOUR FEASTS LIKE THE BEANS AND THE BACON FRIED AT THE CAMP FIRE AT FORTY BELOW CAN YOU REMEMBER YOUR HUSKIES ALL GOING BARKING WITH JOY AND THEIR BRUSHES IN AIR YOU IN YOUR PARKA GLAD EYED AND GLOWING MONARCH YOUR SUBJECTS THE WOLF AND THE BEAR MONARCH YOUR KINGDOM UNRAVISHED AND GLEAMING MOUNTAINS YOUR THRONE AND A RIVER YOUR CAR CRASH OF A BULL MOOSE TO ROUSE YOU FROM DREAMING FOREST YOUR COUCH AND YOUR CANDLE A STAR YOU WHO THIS FAINT DAY THE HIGH NORTH IS LURING UNTO HER VASTNESS TAINTLESSLY SWEET YOU WHO ARE STEEL BRACED STRAIGHT LIPPED ENDURING DREADLESS IN DANGER AND DIRE IN DEFEAT HONOUR THE HIGH NORTH EVER AND EVER WHETHER SHE CROWN YOU OR WHETHER SHE SLAY SUFFER HER FURY CHERISH AND LOVE HER HE WHO WOULD RULE HE MUST LEARN TO OBEY MEN OF THE HIGH NORTH FIERCE MOUNTAINS LOVE YOU PROUD RIVERS LEAP WHEN YOU RIDE ON THEIR BREAST
