The City's Greeting
By o. II. Fernbach

Thousand guns are booming at the Gate,
Five hundred thousand threats their cheers proong
From hill to hill swift leaping shout and song
In Joyous echoes loud reverberate
Adorned in festal robes, bedecked to meet
Thy honored guests, thy golden portals swung.
Rejoice o city! And let every tongue
Sound deep thy greeting: Welcome to the feetl
Welcome, a thousand welcomes to our shore
We steerobed sisters Of the Ship of State!
In peace We come and we capitulate
With waving flag and deep mouthed lannon's roar
Here shall we rest meath California sky
And California sweetest zephyrs breathe;
Roses we bring, and peoples, to enwreathe
Your armored threats, where dormant thunders lie
Welcome a thousand times, We heroes ALL
Blue clad defenders of the nations fame!
Whate er your hearts desire, what wish can name,
SPEAK, and tbs yours-we but await your call!
The city tribute at your feet we lay,
To feast and dance we bid you joyful come
Our arms are spread; we make our hearth your home
Let Pleasures wand enchant you, night and day.
Pride Of Columbia, the Unions boast
May e. er your advent make the world reioice
Your hands we clasp the while with heart and voice
One prayer we breathe, one deep and solemn toast:
Oh let the warning clash of nations cease!
Oh in our strength may respect the weak
Armed and invincibe, yet may we seek
No conquest save of friendship love and peace!

the final haven of San Francisco this
afternoon. The departure was gor-

vivid coloring, wonderful in its beauty
and as the throngs ashore watched the
white ships passing out to sea, led
once more by the indomitable sea

clapping. AS it died away the military
band at the Casino raised. the war
