TO JACK LONDON by JOSE BOSLEY

First Line: YOUR ASHES LIE HIGH ON OUR SACRED SONOMA HILLS
Last Line: WHILE YOUTH IS STILL ON EARTH.
Subject(s): LONDON, JACK (1876-1916);

Your ashes lie high on your sacred Sonoma Hills ...
Your spirit is at rest.

Rest?
Every gem-blue wave that flows through the Golden Gate;
Every storm-born billow that rolls to the Orient;
Every snow-choked trail that ends at a cabin door
Resurrects that insurgent spirit which no grave can hold
While youth is still on earth.
