And the measureless halls of the house of the wind!

IN THE MISSION GARDEN, SAN GABRIEL

O golden day, wherein at last,

Long leagues and wintry overpast,

I stand beneath a sky as blue

As April violets drenched in dew,

And live within a dream come true!

From rosy-berried pepper-trees

The winds blow spicy fragrances;

The palms sway softly to and fro,
