The California Birthday Book / Prose and Poetical Selections from the Writings of Living California Authors with a Brief Biographical Sketch of each

by Unknown

The sun's glory lies on the mountain

Like the glow of a golden dream,

Or the flush on a slumbering fountain

That wakes to dawn's roseate beam.

So the year's day dies in a glory,

And dying, like sunrays unfurled,

Casts the peace and love of Christ's story

Over the heart of the world.

HAROLD T. SYMMES.
