Step into the rugged world of the Klondike with two of Robert W. Service’s most powerful poems. The Spell of the Yukon captures the restless pull of gold and the even greater lure of the land itself—a place of harsh winters, haunting silence, and wild beauty that refuses to let go of those who’ve known it. The Law of the Yukon thunders like the voice of the wilderness itself, laying down its brutal, unyielding demand that only the strong survive. Together, these poems remind us of the irresistible call of adventure, the price of survival, and the timeless majesty of the far north.
In Robert W. Service’s poem, an angel descends to Earth, captivating many with his divine beauty. While many are enchanted, he resists earthly desires until a tempting woman questions his morals. As she challenges traditional values, God retrieves the angel to safeguard him, with Satan echoing the dismissal of age-old principles.
