"When the Yukon River is iced over⁠ And the wate

"When the Yukon River is iced over⁠
And the water secretly creeps beneath the crust⁠
The bathroom taps spurt a cold trickle from the depths below⁠
Like a primeval spring⁠
Constantly circulating⁠
Even in this long dormancy, nothing is ever still"- an excerpt from Robert Lewis Miesen's "Breaking the Ice" poem which was a submission in the 2022 Authors on Eighth Writing Contest.⁠

#TBT- Nestled among the willows and alders on the lower slopes of Dawson City's eastern end sits Robert Service Cabin, which is part of the Klondike National Historic Sites owned and operated by Parks Canada. Robert Service, a renowned poet and writer, called this restored cabin his home from 1909 to 1912. During his stay in the Yukon Territory, Service authored several famous poetic stories, including "The Cremation of Sam McGee," "The Shooting of Dan McGrew," and "The Ballad of Blasphemous Bill." He also penned the novel "The Trail of Ninety-Eight."⁠
⁠
Robert Service began his career in the Yukon as a bank teller, rising extra early in the morning to work on his stories before heading to work. He left the Yukon in 1912 to become a journalist and ambulance driver during the war in France. Service continued to write poems and novels throughout his life.⁠

Explore Robert Service's Cabin and many other Heritage Sites throughout Dawson City by visiting the Parks Canada desk in the Visitor Information Centre.⁠
