Ashes and dust lie deep on the dream that I dreamed.
HERMAN SCHEFFAUER,
in Looms of Life.
APRIL 20.
SAN FRANCISCO.
What matters that her multitudinous store—
The garnered fruit of measureless desire—
Sank in the maelstrom of abysmal fire,
To be of man beheld on earth no more?
Her loyal children, cheery to the core.
