| Augustin S. Macdonald, comp. A Collection of Verse by California Poets. 1914. | | | | Out in California | | By C. Brown |
| | | OUT there in California where the orange turns to gold, | |
| And nature has forgot the art of growing cold, | |
| There is not a day throughout the year the flowers do not grow; | |
| There is not an hour the waters do not unfettered flow, | |
| There is not a single moment that the songsters cease to sing, | 5 |
| And life’s a sort of constant race twixt Summer and the Spring. | |
| Why, just to know the joy of it one might his best years give, | |
| Out there in California where it’s comfort just to live. | | | | |
