The 4/29/1903 landslide at Frank, British Columbia wiped out the entire town except for a single baby girl. On a grim and tragic morning in 1903 A little babe lay weeping, a pitiful sight to see; A pitiful sight was she, was she There in the shimmering morning. Around the babe was a sea of stones A million ton or more, That slid right off a mountain top With a horrifying roar, With a horrifying roar, they tore, Into the shimmering morning.
