The Cremation of Sam McGee

Robert W. Service

The Cremation of Sam McGee Robert W. Service

"The Cremation of Sam McGee," tells the tale of two gold miners in the Yukon and one man's "last request."

The poem is paired with a text, audio, and comic version.
There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who toil for gold;

The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;

The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see

Was that night on the marge of Lake Laberge
I cremated Sam McGee.
