i* CHANT-ROYAL */ CALIFORNIA ONWARD the Nation marches, and in sight Of this far Western sea, whose ripples glow Wide towards the sunset, with its staff does smite The rock of Hope, that golden streams may flow. This is our Promised Land, beyond compare The most prolific Eden, rich and fair ! Here may we lay our hearth-stones, and with glee Of new possession, and with song, may we Set out the grape and fig, and seed-corn strew. Ah, gallant husbandmen, what soil have ye ! This vintage shall the ...old world's youth renew ! O maiden West ! What need to re-indite Her beauties and her blessings all men know ! The day rings with her laughter of delight, All of earth's good she has, without the woe. The joy of youth is hers a future rare Is hers to win, to foster and to share ; Strong, reckless, frank and jubilant is she, Holding with thoughtless hand her fortune's key; Yet, underneath her sun and heavens blue The vine shall yield, and it shall come to be This vintage shall the old world's youth renew !
