In Memory of Leland Stanford

When June was wearing her garlands of flowers To cover with beauty the earth In the stillness of mid-night most mystic of hours A sadness came over her mirth For lo! When the mellow moon softly did cast, Her light, o'er that fair western shore, An honored one into Eternity passed; The angels then welcomed, one more.

One more! And a nation in sadness doth weep. At the death of a true, loyal son. And treasured, a record she ever will keep. Of the noble deeds that he hath done.
