Tith apologies to I'r. Hlawatha -
Up around the Arctic Circle
T:aathermen are strong and silent
Snugly mpped in bsprds and beav9r
pi.tching mobs, watching pibela
Lighted b the moon's pale flicker
Slanting throwh the crystal glitter,
Or the endless sun in mmmer.
Charting data of the Northland,
Of the lonely, broodng Northland,
I!ight). king of weather makers.
