San Francisco
(Bret Harte.)
Serene, Indifferent of Fate,
Thou sittest at the Western Gate;
Upon thy height, so lately won,
Still slant the banners of the sun;
Thou seest the white seas strike their
tents,
O Warder of two Continents!
And. scornful of the peace that flies
Thy angry winds and Sullen skies,
Thou drawest all things, small or great,
To thee, beside the Western Gate.
o lions whelp, that hides fast
In jungle growth of spire and mast!
I know thy cunning and thy greed,
Thy hard, high lust and willful deed,
And all thy glory loves to. tell
OF spacious gifts material.
Drop down, o Fleecy Fog, and hide
Her scepter sneer and all her pride!
Wrap her, Fog, in gown and hood
OF her Franciscan Brotherhood.
Hide me- her faults. her sin and blame;
With thy gray mantle cloak her shame!
So shall she, cowled, sit and pray
Till morning bears her sins away.
Then rise, o Fleecy Fog, and raise
The glory of her coming days;
Be as the cloud that flecks the seas
Above her smoky argosies:
When forms familiar shall give place
To stranger speech and newer face;
When all her throes and anxious fears
Lie hmShed in the repOse of years;
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-26

When Art shall raise and Culture lift
The sensual joys and meaner thrift,
And all fulfilled the vision we
Who watch and wait shall never see,
Who, in the morning of her race,
Toiled fair or meanly in our place.
But, yielding to the common lot,
Lie unrecorded and forgot.
