I LOVE YOU, CALIFORNIA. 



SHEET Music. 



I love you, California, you're the greatest state of all, 

 I love you in the winter, summer, spring, and in the fall. 

 I love your fertile valleys ; your dear mountains I adore. 

 I love your grand old ocean, and I love her rugged shore. 



CHORUS : 



Where the snow crowned Golden Sierras 

 Keep their watch o'er the valley's bloom, 

 It is there I would be in our land by the sea, 

 Every breeze bearing rich perfume ; 

 It is here nature gives of her rarest, 

 It is Home Sweet Home to Me, 

 And I know when I die I shall breathe my last sigh 

 For my sunny California. 



I love your redwood forests, love your fields of yellow grain. 

 I love your summer breezes, and I love your winter rain ; 

 I love you, land of flowers; land of honey, fruit and wine. 

 I love you, California; you have won this heart of mine. 



I love your old gray Missions, love your vineyards stretching far. 



I love you, California, with your Golden Gate ajar. 



I love your purple sunsets, love your skies of azure blue. 



I love you, California; I just can't help loving you. 



I love you, Catalina ; you are very dear to me. 



I love you, Tamalpais, and I love Yosemite. 



I love you, Land of Sunshine, half your beauties are untold. 



I loved you in my childhood, and I'll love you when I'm old. 



THE BUSY LARK. 



LEAFLET No. III. 



The busy lark, messenger of day, 

 Salutes in her song the morrow gray, 

 And fiery Phoebus riseth up so bright 

 That all the orient laugheth at the sight, 

 And with his streamers dryeth in the greaves 

 The silver drops hanging on the leaves.
