Canoe a Poem – Outdoor Skills
Beneath a hemlock grim and dark,
Where shrub and vine are intertwining.
Our shanty stands, well roofed with bark,
On which the cheerful blaze is shining.
The smoke ascends in spiral wreath,
With upward curve the sparks are trending;
The coffee kettle sings beneath
Where sparks and smoke with leaves are blending
And on the stream a light canoe
Floats like a freshly fallen feather,
A fairy thing, that will not do
For broader seas and stormy weather.
Her sides no thicker than the shell
Of Ole Bull's Cremona fiddle,
The man who rides her will do well
To part his scalp-lock in the middle.
Sears, George Washington. Woodcraft. New York: Forest and Stream Publishing, 1884.
