and there's no friend like cheer,
And sunshine will flash at our call;
So crown Love as King,

"It's a mighty good world after all."
- Robert Service Robert W. Service A Bibliography by Peter Mitham This first edition is an authoritative guide to the works of British/Canadian poet-author Robert W. Service (1874-1958). Born in Preston, Lancashire, Service learned to love verse and recite parlour ballads from his grandfather and aunts before he was nine years old. Shortly thereafter, he discovered the works of Browning, Tennyson, Verlaine, and Zola and became captivated. By age sixteen, Service claimed to have published a score of poems in the local weeklies. In 1896, the young man emigrated to the United States and then settled in north-western Canada. The exuberant people and magnificent scenery of British Columbia and the Yukon filled him with an ebullient enthusiasm which was reflected and captured in his poetry
and his later novels.
Intended to be a Christmas keepsake for his friends and relatives, Service selected several poems that he had written in British Columbia and the Yukon for printing. The title of this keepsake was Songs of a Sourdough. The publishing company liked the poetry so much that they accepted it as a publication of the house. The book was a huge success selling 1,250 copies before the book was officially published in 1907. Service wrote a prodigious stream of poems and rough, frontier literature. Translations of his poetry has. been made into French, Swedish, Norwegian, and other languages. When Service died at his home in Lancieux, France in 1958, he enjoyed the reputation of being one of the most popular and profitable versifiers of the century. In this well-researched and scholarly bibliography, Peter Mitham has produced a brilliant and welcomed bibliography of Robert W. Service’s works.

Robert William Service
Robert William Service was born on January 16, 1874 to a Scottish bank clerk and the daughter of an English factory owner.
At the age of 15 he followed his father into the banking business, but in 1896 he emigrated to Canada where he joined his younger brother in an experiment in ranching. The life of a farmer in British Columbia, however, was far from his expectations and after 18 months he set off for California.
For the next 6 years Service drifted up and down the Pacific coast. In 1903, finding himself broke in Vancouver, he applied to and was hired by the Canadian Bank of Commerce and won a posting in Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory.
Here Service found the western life he had sought, with its balance of a frontier sort of social life and the solitude of the northern woods.
Songs of a Sourdough (reissued as The Spell of the Yukon ) was published to some success.
In 1908 he was transformed 400 miles north to Dawson where he composed and published Ballads of a Cheechako and, the following year, resigned from the bank in order to write full time.

    Robert W. Service
    Shooting of Dan McGrew
    A bunch of the boys were whooping it up in the Malamute saloon;
    The kid that handles the music-box was hitting a jag-time tune;
    Back of the bar, in a solo game, sat Dangerous Dan McGrew,
    And watching his luck was his light-o'-love, the lady that's known as Lou.
    When out of the night, which was fifty below, and into the din and glare,
    There stumbled a miner fresh from the creeks, dog-dirty, and loaded for bear.
    He looked like a man with a foot in the grave and scarcely the strength of a louse,
    Yet he tilted a poke of dust on the bar, and he called for drinks for the house.
    There was none could place the stranger's face, though we searched ourselves for a clue;
    But we drank his health, and the last to drink was Dangerous Dan McGrew. There's men that somehow just grip your eyes, and hold them hard like a spell;
    And such was he, and he looked to me like a man who had lived in hell;

    Biographies of the featured poets Li Po (Japanese Rihaku) (701-762) Chinese poet, one of the greatest figures of Chinese literature. Li Po (or Li Bai) was born into the minor nobility in what is now Sichuan (Szechwan) Province. After an apprenticeship with a Daoist hermit and a time of wandering, he lived briefly as a poet at the Tang dynasty court in Changan but left as the result of intrigue. Then he returned to a life of Daoist study and carefree reflective wandering, writing poems and enjoying nature and the pleasures of wine, supplied free by the emperor's orders. According to legend, Li Po was drowned while drunkenly leaning from a boat to embrace the Moon's reflection on the water. Poem: "Lament of the Frontier Guard" John Donne (1572 -1631) A noted english poet and essayist, Donne sailed with the Earl of Essex and Sir Walter Raleigh in the naval expeditions against Cadiz in August 1596, where the inspiration for his poem "The Burnt Ship" occurred. Walt Whitman (1819-1892) During the Civil War Whitman ministered to wounded soldiers in Union army hospitals in Washington, D.C. He remained there, working as a government clerk, until 1873, when he suffered a stroke that left him partially paralysed. Poem: "Come up from the fields, Father"
