Thanks, I found some good stuff on that site.
I especially like this one:
The Old Canoe
My seams gape wide as I'm tossed aside to rot on the lonely shore,
And the leaves and mould like a shroud enfold,for the last of my days are o'er,
But I float in my dreams on northern streams that never again I'll see,
As I lie on the marge of the old portage with grief for company.
When the sunset gilds the timbered hills that guard Temagami,
And the moon beams play on far James Bay by the brink of the frozen sea,
In phantom guise my spirit flies as the dream blades dip and swing,
Where the waters flow from long ago in the spell of the beckoning spring.
Do the cow-moose call on the Montreal when the first frost bites the air,
And the mists unfold from the red and gold that the autumn ridges wear?
Do the white falls roar as they did of yore on the Lady Evelyn,
And the square-tail leap from the black pool deep where the pictured rocks begin?
Yes, the fur fleet sing on Temiscaming as the ashen paddles bend,
And the crew carouse at Rupert's House at the sullen winter's end,
But my days are done where the lean wolves run, I'll ripple no more their path,
Where the grey geese race 'cross the red moon's face from the white winds Arctic wrath.
Tho' the death-fraught way from Saguenay to the storied Nipigon,
Once knew me well, now a crumbling shell I watch as the years roll on,
And in memory's haze I love the days forever gone from me,
As I lie on the marge of the old portage with grief for company.
George Marsh (circa 1890)

That's Camp Wanapitei's camp song. |

Terrific site. I was a camper at Camp Temagami in the late '60s. My Great Gradfather founded Camp Pinto for Goodyear and my Grandparents had a retreat on Islands 1097 and 1098. My cousins still have an island on Whitefish Bay.
I haven't been to Temagami since 1970, but hope to get there in the next few years. |
