Excerpt from Ninette: A Redwoods Idyll

Was in the days when through the Golden Gate
The good ships bore the builders of a State.
Why was it royal Adolph could not be
Hail-fellow in this lordly company,
Lordly as ever from the ends of earth
Was drawn and marshalled for a city's birth?
The palaces of chance with clinking stream
Of silver, ringing showers of gold, - the dream
Of Danae come true, they were for him,
And yet the fine gold, how was it waxed dim!
By day and night the gilded ways he strode,
Stalwart as any; out the Mission Road
Dashed side by side with maddest cavalier
That jingled spur; but ever in his ear
Sounded the counsel of the white-haired sire,
Whom he had rescued from the hamlet fire.
