Présentation de l'éditeur

My San Francisco on her seven hills is smiling, Beside an opalescent sunset sea; There is a magic in her bracing air beguiling, Yet filling all with tireless energy. The tingling tang of open sea the breeze is giving; The fog rolls in and dm es heat languors out, And thrills her loyal subjects with the joy of living, And puts the love of idleness to rout. When in the valleys, fervent summer heat oppresses, And gives no respite night or day, There is aC ity that the cooling fog caresses, Upon the breezy San Francisco Bay. When winter rains and sun have wrought in fragrant flowers A multicolored carpet on the land, A charm is in her circling hills and redwood bowers That only those who see can understand.
