| | | A CALIFORNIA sunrise, over-fair! | |
| See, scarlet-colored margins fringed with green! | |
| Lo! fields of red and crimson bordered there! | |
| Here, blue expanses spanned with whitened sheen! | |
| Lo! yellow banners floating in the air! | 5 |
| Now, purple pastures sweet as eye hath seen! | |
| Here, pink as blossoms mellow with delight! | |
| O many hued, sky-ocean’s painted Bight, | |
| Bent like Benin against the shore of night! | | | | |
