Forest Life and Forest Trees: comprising winter camp-life among the loggers, and wild-wood adventure. / with Descriptions of lumbering operations on the various / rivers of Maine and New Brunswick

Of the stately moose.

Fast the streams with ice are closing,

Colder grows the sky,

Soon, on lake and river frozen,

Shall our log-piles lie.

When, with sounds of smother'd thunder,

On some night of rain,

Lake and river break asunder

Winter's weaken'd chain,

Down the wild March-flood shall bear them
