"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 her must learn to obey.
---Robert W. Service
