San Francisco
| “Serene, indifferent of fate, Thou sittest at the Western Gate; | |
| Upon thy heights so lately won, Still slant the banners of the sun; | |
| Thou seest the white seas strike their tents, O warder of two continents, | |
| And scornful of the peace that flies, Thy angry winds and sullen skies, | |
| Thou drawest all things, small or great, To thee beside the Western Gate.” |
