Windy by Kate Simpson Hayes

Lady Marmaduke Montague-Marlinford-Dunne / Came out to the Yukon in search of her son; / Heir to vast estates and to lands long entailed, / Handed down by great grandpapa's fist (which was mailed). / The young man had mushed in by the lone Chilcoot Pass / And was known to the boys as "That titled young Ass."

For the stuff he wrote home took Belgravian breath: / "Dear Monty with savages!" -- "mushing!" -- "to death"! / They were shocked at the mention "pay-dirt"; and "the pan," / They fully explained, was "held by Monty's man!" / At St. James, The Carlton, The Ritz, it was told / How "Monty owns mountains and canyons of -- Gold!"

Came a lapse in the years and the letters. Despair / Seized the hearts in Belgravia -- no word from the heir; / For the lure of the Northland -- the life of the camp, / Had Monty the Beau transformed into a -- tramp / Who had drifted, like jetsam, the breakers among, / And had almost forgotten his own mother-tongue.
