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

by John S. Springer

To the saw-mill's wheel,

Or, where Steam, the slave, shall tear them

With his teeth of steel.

Be it starlight, be it moonlight

In these vales below,

When the earliest beams of sunlight

Streaks the mountain's snow,

Crisps the hoar-frost keen and early

To our hurrying feet,

And the forest echoes clearly
