\nEarste deade yn Nova Scotia<\/em><\/big><\/p>\n

Yn de k\u00e2lde, k\u00e2lde pronkkeamer
\nbierde myn mem Arthur op
\n\u00fbnder de gromolito\u2019s: Edward,
\nprins fan Wales, mei prinsesse
\nAlexandra, en kening George
\nmei keninginne Mary.
\nOp de tafel \u00fbnder harren
\nstie in opsette iisd\u00fbker,
\nsketten en opset troch Omke
\nArthur, Arthur syn heit.<\/p>\n

S\u00fbnt Omke Arthur
\nin k\u00fbgel yn him jage hie,
\nhie er gjin wurd mear sein.
\nHy oerlei mei himsels
\nop syn wite, beferzen mar,
\nde tafel mei it moarmeren bl\u00ead.
\nSyn boarst, breed en wyt,
\nwie k\u00e2ld en aaiber;
\nsyn eagen wienen read gl\u00eas,
\neat om te begearen.<\/p>\n

\u2018Kom mar\u2019, sei mem,
\n\u2018Kom en nim \u00f4fskie
\nfan dyn neefke Arthur.\u2019
\nIk waard optild en krige
\nfan mem ien maaieklokje
\nom Arthur yn syn h\u00e2n te dwaan.
\nArthur syn kiste wie
\nin lyts glasearre gebakje,
\nen fan syn wite, beferzen mar \u00f4f
\neage de readeagige f\u00fbgel it oer.<\/p>\n

Arthur wie o sa lyts.
\nHy wie hielendal wyt, as in pop
\ndy\u2019t noch net beskildere wie.
\nKening Winter wie \u00fat ein set mei
\nhim op te fervjen, sa\u2019t er altyd die
\nmei it Eskdoarnbl\u00ead (Foar Ivich).
\nHy wie krekt beg\u00fbn mei syn hier,
\nin pear reade fegen, en doe
\nhie Kening Winter syn kwaste dellein
\nen him wyt litten, foar ivich.<\/p>\n

De minsume keninklike pearen
\nwienen waarm yn read en harmelyn,
\nmei de fuotten goed bewuolle
\nyn de slepen fan de dames.
\nSy n\u00fbgen Arthur \u00fat, hy mocht
\nde lytste paazje wurde oan it h\u00f4f.
\nMar hoe koe Arthur d\u00ear no hinne,
\nsyn skriele klokje yn in kn\u00fbstke,
\nmei de eagen sa stiif ticht
\nen op de dyk in grou pak snie?<\/p>\n

First Death in Nova Scotia<\/em><\/big><\/p>\n

In the cold, cold parlor
\nmy mother laid out Arthur
\nbeneath the chromographs:
\nEdward, Prince of Wales,
\nwith Princess Alexandra,
\nand King George with Queen Mary.
\nBelow them on the table
\nstood a stuffed loon
\nshot and stuffed by Uncle
\nArthur, Arthur\u2019s father.<\/p>\n

Since Uncle Arthur fired
\na bullet into him,
\nhe hadn\u2019t said a word.
\nHe kept his own counsel
\non his white, frozen lake,
\nthe marble-topped table.
\nHis breast was deep and white,
\ncold and caressable;
\nhis eyes were red glass,
\nmuch to be desired.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome,\u201d said my mother,
\n\u201cCome and say good-bye
\nto your little cousin Arthur.\u201d
\nI was lifted up and given
\none lily of the valley
\nto put in Arthur\u2019s hand.
\nArthur\u2019s coffin was
\na little frosted cake,
\nand the red-eyed loon eyed it
\nfrom his white, frozen lake.<\/p>\n

Arthur was very small.
\nHe was all white, like a doll
\nthat hadn\u2019t been painted yet.
\nJack Frost had started to paint him
\nthe way he always painted
\nthe Maple Leaf (Forever).
\nHe had just begun on his hair,
\na few red strokes, and then
\nJack Frost had dropped the brush
\nand left him white, forever.<\/p>\n

The gracious royal couples
\nwere warm in red and ermine;
\ntheir feet were well wrapped up
\nin the ladies\u2019 ermine trains.
\nThey invited Arthur to be
\nthe smallest page at court.
\nBut how could Arthur go,
\nclutching his tiny lily,
\nwith his eyes shut up so tight
\nand the roads deep in snow?<\/p>\n
