SAN FRANCISCO.

By Wallace Irwin

[Wallace Irwin, in Collier's Weekly.]
She laughed upon her hills out there Beside her bays of misty blue; The gayest hearts, the sweetest air That any city ever knew.
For I have whistled all the songs That thrilled upon her care-free breath, And I have mingled with her throngs— But never in the thought of death.
Lady of Ventures, Joy of Earth, How more the pity for your moans With all the blossoms of your mirth Crushed, like your youth, beneath the stones.
