Immersed in golden shadows
At the close of a busy day,
Thy hills and vales St Francis,
In peace and quiet lay
Clothed in the folds of slumber,
Fair Morpheus reigned supreme
Unconscious of death and destruction
Thy portion unwritten,…

Fair mistress of the great blue sea
Thy head is bent;
Upon thy sea thou dost not smile,
Thy heart is rent
What of the night before the morn?
Then were thine eyes
The envy of the stars that looked
From soul of skies

Flashed through my open cottage door;
Then instant out and off again
And left a stillness like to…

She sits upon her seven hills,
All bare and blackened now,
A mourning vell of sable smoke
Obscures her stricken brow
She weeps above her dead that lie
Uncounted in the gloom
With ashes for a winding-sheet
And cinders…

O stricken San Francisco, thou
Fair queen of all the West!
Thy ruined homes, thy bleeding hearts,
The ories of thy distress'd,

The gay voice hushed, the form now crushed,
Beside…

Everybody works but father,
And he sits 'round all day,
Boreing all the neighbors
With what he has to say
Mother takes in washing
Willie's scraping bricks
Everybody works but father- He's talking politics

On an April morning falr
When a city fair and merciful
Was quivering in the air
There swaying to and fro
Were buildings great and small;
Then with a mighty crash
Began a city's…
