·· i&rmrmbraurr" By CHARLES E. ROY AL, Author of "In Dear Old California's Sunny Dells"

[;! ~ s I sit here and write in this lone den

...:\.. tonight, Concentrating my thoughts on a story,

My memory in spite of me turns to the time When I wrote not for wealth, but glory.

Whenheartthrobsinspired each tale thatl told, When romantic lore filled the bowers,

When my own boyish glee wrote the wind's poetry

In the sun-kissed land of flowers.

5

11tlte both longed for fame t o echo our names; ~ Our futures we planned-hers and mine . Love's old themes I'd write from morn until

night, I poured out my soul in rhyme;

And she'd paint each scene, from Mt. Shasta down

To the dells and shady bowers. Each landscape seemed a poetic dream

In the sun-kissed land of flowers.

woe, ,{11\ne summer's day, while she painted away, W I wrote my heart's dearest story: I wrote my soul's story for pleasur_e.

Far down in my heart's cozy corner it dwells, Guarded all thro' this life as a treasure.

But why should I not give it out to the world, Bring to life all those dead happy hours,

Let my heart guide the pen, live my youth o'er again In the sun-kissed land of flowers.

3

111\'ermydesk from the mould hangs a face framed in gold W Which has watched me write stories for years. I ts fond recollection inspires each tale,

Blends the pathos with laughter and tears. 'Tis the face of a girl whom I loved dear as life,

Who, now, sleeps beneath orange bowers. Of my soul she's still queen, and she once reigned supreme

In the sun-kissed land of flowers.

4

~ n artist was she, painting landscape and sea; ...:\.. With Nature's fair gifts she was laden. '~Te were happy as doves in each other's love-

A light-hearted youth and maiden. I wrote Nature's songs while she would paint.

A life full of bliss was ours. In sunshine or rain, we were sweethearts the same

In that sun-kissed land of flowers. g

I pictured the dell she had painted so well, In all of its splendor and glory.

I told of the fairest flower of my heart, Who slept 'neath· those shady bowers­

The last sweet repose of my own darling Rose In the sun-kissed land of flowers.

7

7t little knew that my song would come true-2J That she and I would sever; That in the same dell she had painted so well

My beloved would sleep forever. How cruel was fate to take my sweet mate,

To disturb such bliss as ours. But my heart's laid at rest with the one I love best

In that sun-kissed 12-nd of flowers.

8

7fve tried to forget, but I still love her yet, 2J Tho' I've wandered afar o'er the ocean . Her memory remains, o'er my soul she still reigns,

'Vith the love of a sweetheart's devotion. Thro' the Alps' scenes sublime and Italy's clime,

I've dwelt 'neath the earth's fairest bowers. But my soul seeks repose by the side of my Rose

In the sun-kissed land of flowers.

~ s I sit here and write in this lone den tonight, ..l"\. I write not for wealth nor glory. But I still love the girl, and I give to the ·world

My own heart's dearest story. It's title I take from the depth of my soul.

o~er its memory my mind ever dwells. 'Tis the place I love best, where my loved one rests,

"IN DEAR OLD CALIFORNIA'S SuNKY DELLS."

NOTE.-The music to the song, "In Dear Old California's Sunny Dells," was written by Lee Johnson, one of the most popular composers of the day, who considers it far superior to any of his previous efforts, such as ''Ramona,'' '' My Own,'' ''Rose of Killarney, '' ''Alone,'' etc. ; and the music loving public will find in the song, "In Dear Old California's Sunny Dells," Nature's Ideal masterpiece, both in words and music, and it is the only song ever published worthy of being termed a true California song.

CALIFORNIA. 'Tis nature's Cozy Corner, 'ne,ath Heaven's starlit sky, Where violets and sweet blue bells and daisies never die; 'Tis the land of orange blossoms where Summer ever dwells, The Golden Gate of Paradise, "California's Sunny Dells."

In Oeatt Old Galifottnia's Sunny Oe11s. SONG.
