In The Arctic Night Across a wild and frozen land, Moves a small, intrepid band Of people with a guide to show The way to where they want to go. There is an outpost way out there Where they can view the polar bear. They have a team of huskies who Pull their sled, as huskies do, With provisions piled on for Their sustenance, while they explore. One night the dogs were all staked out. The people tented all about, When someone saw a bear come in. The dogs began to raise a din. The bear approached the lead dog, then. Imagine the amazement when The bear, who was so large and white, Showed it filled him with delight To play games with this husky so They rolled and tussled in the snow! Next morning, they went on, but knew At a distance, the bear came too. Each night engaged the dogs in play, But before morning, moved away. For the week left on the trail, This strange friendship, without fail, Flourished in the Arctic night, Bringing wonder at the sight! Although some other bears were seen, They all found it didn't mean Quite as much as one they saw, Greet their huskies, paw to paw! Betty Lou Hebert |
