And deep eyes are gazing on me
As bend in childhood's prayer
Then a silent firm hand press,
And a mournful, sad adieu,
And the magic scene dssolveth
Like mist upon my view

And thrill run, through NY brain,
For ii skirts upon the margin

We turn to seek the fountains
Where rolls the glittering ore.

With bags Of golden sand.
From Cel Ions spicy breezes
We turn to brighter lands,
Where gold "to save" more plea,es,
On Sacramento's strands,
Care We if heather blindly
Bow down to wood and stone,
Since God to US so kindly
The golden dust has shown
We see the Hindoo cropping,
Devoid of light on high:
Dare zoe, while zoe, are hoping,
Should they in darkness die
Francisco! Golden regions
Oh, what thrilling sound
With joys, in contess regions,
These rainbow words abound!
Now to this golden treasure,
Bear US, ye winds and waves
What care, if one finds pleasure
In souls he wins and saves
Gems in his crown Of glory!
Be GOLD our god and aim
Our gem of every story;
GOLD, all we ask or claim.
