[embossed] GOLDEN GATE

Dedicated to the memory of
Hon Leland Stanford. These lines are
written to comfort the lonely wife who
is now bereft of both husband & son

Lifs [sic] Broken Chords of Love

Lifs [sic] chords all broken neath loves
familiar gleam

Gone o'er the silent river called deaths
dark stream

Gone ere the sad mourner left standing
alone

Saw the rifted Life threads falling
one by one
