ADOBE CENTINELA
Inglewood, California
All are welcome to the last
Of this ancient faded story;
Here the present keeps the past,
Here the Casa holds its glory,
Where the passing of New Spain
Left its romance for tomorrow;
All who lived here yet remain,
Bits of laughter and of sorrow.
Once the ox-cart, loaded high,
Came with riches from the vineyard,
Where the sea-winds softly lie,
With the old Pueblo windward.
Now no Californio
Watches herd down this barranca.
Yet time does not seem to go;
And the old walls, painted blanca,
Whisper, whisper, a cappella,
Of Adobe Centinela!
