The sun shines at midnight
on this wild white frontier
calls from homecoming seals
have the pups reply with zeal
Soon will come the time
they will break for the shoreline
a slow precession of mothers and pups
back to the invitation of the ocean
Long shadows cast
in the chilling winds
the bite of Antarctic
bids them farewell
Till next year they come
to this nursery freezer
back to where birth begun
back to the midnight sun
