The Magic Day

He walked beside me all the way, A presence fraught with charm and grace, And on each dim, enchanted trail His footsteps with my own kept pace; We wandbred through forsaken camps And gulches desolate and bare, And from a fragrant mountain side, Looked down on valleys green and fair.

In Calaveras grove that dayA templed shrine of green and gold, We paused in tender reverie

While there to me a tale he told; And at the music of his voice. The present faded from my view, And caught as in a magic spell I dreamed the dreams of youth anew.

I heard a river's song of "Gold," Beneath great mountains of the west, Upon whose gleaming peaks at night The weary stars lean down to rest; I heard familiar voices ring And greetings of the past renew, And soon the forest aisles lvere thronged With forms and faces that I'knew.

Brown waited in the shadows there, With Yuba Bill and wild M'liss, And Hamlin's voice like song of bird Rang through the haunted wilderness; I saw the scorned of Poker Flat, And wept again for Tennessee, Fair Miggles came with laughter sweet, The hapless Luck smiled up at me.

A passing breeze the forest swayed, The fragrances of many flowers

Swept by on noiseless, unseen wingsThe souls perchance of long dead hours; Then slorvly faded from my sight

The forms and faces that I knew, And with them passed the one whose hand Had limned them once with colors true.

Oh grave beneath grey English skies, You could not hold his spirit there, For in the haunts he used to love, It lingers still, a presence rare; And as the long years come and go, Though far I roam by land and sea, My heart in tender memory holds

The day when Bret lfarte walked with me.
