The Golden Gate.

Far away to the bright southwest,
Where the sunset clasps the sea
Where the broad Pacihc's billowy breast
Heaves and surges in wild unrest
turn, bright land, to thee
And dream of thy skies, and thy melodies
Comes to my soul, with the cheer
That soft winds bring in the early spring,
Saying that summer is near.
So, Golden Gate
turn to thee with heart elate.
Twas a thought poet heart might claim,
o. southwest land Of ours,
To give thy rock bound shores a name,
To live alike in sony and fame,
With glowing skies and flowers.
To thy billowy bay is a royal way,
That leads to the land OF gold
And the sea lions guard with watch and ward,
Thy shining stores untold
Oh, Golden Gate
Oped to q land in promise great.
Ships more precious than argossies
or orient climes have gone,
Freighted with life and its mysteries,
To breast the storms Of southern seas
And the blast of fierce Cape Horn.
BY the desolate shore of the Land of Fire,
Till the broad Pacidc's swell
Bore them away to the sparkling bay
OF the land love we'll
The Golden Gate,
Where the myriad ships of the nations wait
. hath not every soul II dream
of southwest land that lies
In light more pure than the golden geam
That out of the gates of the west may stream,
Or the morning orient dyesY
These silvery chimes are tuneful rhymes,
Which poets sung Of old,
And the sparkling sand of whose distant strand
Is bright with sunset gold
The Golden Gate,
Whore dreams, like ships at anchor, wait.
Such, land of song, art thou to mo
From Northland bleak and cold
| send my bark, and its freight shall bo
All blessed hopes and the melody
That minstrel lips have told
o beautiful land, with thy golden strand,
Shining for evermore--
Sweet land of song, have lived SO long,
shall yet regain thy shore
At thy Golden Gate
Like an anchored bark, my soul shall wait
