7 Glacier Bay, Alaska Through the long days and short bright summer nights, Around the head of this enchanted bay The
sundering bergs their thunderous music play Like sound of cannonading in sea fights. The age-old frost the fleeting summer
smites With manifold concussions--an array Of ancient, hoary winters swells the fray That with its din the listening ear
delights This in Munchausen's tale is shadowed forth, Where the stout courier's trumpet blasts congealed Accumulate, until
by warmth unsealed, They volley forth the praises of the North. The myriad winters here with long-pent voice Roar grandly,
and tumultuously rejoice. 6 in this vicinity. Will send you my year's output of verse (quite meagre) when I get it out.
Enthusiastically yours C. W. Carruth
