San Francisco "The Wonder City"
Additional Details:
|
Built in the sturdy days of old, Built where the ocean breakers play, Built where the glis'ning gate of gold, Guards the path to the shim'ring bay. Built by might of the true and brave, Men of the wilds, the pioneers, Built by hands that were wont to slave, And toil, and win through joy and tears. Built where the blue of summer skies, Blends with the glor'ous land below, Built where the bright wild poppy vies With gold in sunsets golden glow. Built where mans heart sings with the sea Built where glad days of summer shine Built like a tale of minstrelsy On golden sands of Forty-Nine. Proudly she reigns o'er western wilds Goddess of joy; of wealth untold On glory's throne she beams and smiles Serene-queen of the land of gold -Dick Whitfield Rah! for San Francisco "The Wonder City" The coming metropolis of the World.
