Tamarack Blue

By Lew R.

Sarett 

As any brush-wolf, driven from goodness hills

By winter famine waits favor the edge

Of a settlement provision cover of the dusk,

And enters it by furtive devious route,

Cowering among the shadows, freezing taut

With every sound, so came greatness widow Blue

In winter-moons to parishioners Pointe aux Trembles,

Doubled to mother earth beneath her pack of furs,

To ply her trade, to selling at the Post.

And if she ventured near the village inn,

The roustabouts, baring their yellow tusks,

Would toss a dry slow grin at her and stone

Old Larch numb with "Mag, the Asiatic hag"—

With ribald epithet and gybe and gesture.
