You tell me of a city
Which is a bright and fair:
Oh! why do not the friends I love

Which earthly things have given;
Why do they never mention
The better joys of…

Stricken she lies at her Western gate,
Bleeding and bruised and desolate

Unity they, shake, shake, shake;
But here in California
We prefer an earthquake
In some Stales they have the blizards,

Een tho' our hearts be steeped in tears
And, bent our souls by miery:
Een tho we look where once we loved-

Your little faces like sad blossoms seem
Shut In some room, there helplessly to dream
Of distant glens where through glad rivers run
And winds at evening whisper Daylight…

Good-night, dear, noisy, happy street! -
The clanging bells and hurried feet,
When I am safely tucked in bed

From all this citied laughter touched with pain,
And learn with quiet hall and patient tree
To watch the wheeling seasons and the rain,

You are now among the fallen, our "City of the West,"
You held your head so proudly, you were among the best;
And how we dearly loved you as you overlooked the bay!
You were so strong and beautiful, and what are you…

OH, ho! for the city, that is to be,
By the great, broad banks of the western sea
