Excerpt from The Invasion of California: And Other Poems The Invaders They come, the toilers from afar, Earth's resolute and bold, With weapons bared, but not for war These stalwarts are enrolled. For Progress sounds the battle-cry And Trade's great legions stir, And Labor bears its banner high, With Gold, the Paymaster. While Orient doors wide open wait, The long-barred ports are free, The Golden State is all elate From Summit to the sea. Far fleets shall sail, fair orchards bloom And stately buildings rise, The forge shall glow, the busy loom Pour forth its merchandise. And homes, the widespread homes of Peace, The Golden State shall bless, Where day shall dawn and toil shall cease In cheery thankfulness. And kindly hearts shall, grateful, praise The Lord of Light and Life. Rest, Warrior of the ancient days, There is no call for strife.
