   • 1907, Robert W. Service, “The Cremation of Sam McGee”, in The Spell of the Yukon and Other Verses:

     There are strange things done in the midnight sun
           By the men who moil for gold;
     The Arctic trails have their secret tales
           That would make your blood run cold;
     The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
           But the queerest they ever did see
     Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
           I cremated Sam McGee.
