California, land of beauty,
Decked in robes of living green,
Shady trees and fragrant flowers
In thy gardens may be seen.

Fruitful fields and sparkling water--
Luscious fruit and healthy clime--
Flashing gems are in thy mountains,
With radiant brilliancy they shine.

Grandly dressed are all thy mountains
With various trees of evergreen;
Throne-like, towering towards heaven,
On their brows a snowy sheen.
