That poem was one of my favorites, too. Only Shackleton really did it.

There's a whisper on the night-wind, there's a star agleam to guide us, And the Wild is calling, calling . . . let us go.

I didn't know of Service until in reading a book on Shackleton I learned that he liked Service and particularly the line

The simple things, the true things, the silent men who do things
from his poem The Call of the Wild.
