Excerpt from Across the Andes
Rubber or gold - the game is old, The lust and lure and venture; And the trails gleam white in the tropic night Where the restless Spirits mould; A vine-tied cross 'neath the festooned moss, Bones in a matting rolled; No wrong or right, the loss is slight, The world-old fooled of gold.
