Better Than They Knew

There were builded little cabins In the groves of oak and pine; Rough hewn cabins rudely fashioned By the men of forty nine; Through the camp there flowed a river, Bravely singing of the sea, And it babbled with insistence Of a little town to be.

Some one bridged the shining river, Many heard the cry of "Gold !"

Lumberjacks and miners mingled In that noisy camp of old; Nature offered them her bountyWealth of mine and strength of tree, And they reared the smiling portals Of the little town to be.

Miners, lumberjacks and teamsters

When the yellow moon was low, Spoke in strangely softened voices Of the girls they used to know; Homes appeared as though by magic, Happy voices rang with glee, For the little dreamland city Had become reality.

Mother Lode, this is your story, Multiplied a thousand fold; Roaring camps and bustling cities n Marked your flaming trails of gold; Some were lost but others waited To the dream and dreamers true, For the pioneers who reared them Builded better than they knew.
