Description
Excerpt from History of Santa Barbara County, California: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers
IN the fairest of valleys, on the tranquilest shore, By mountains walled in, and an ocean before, With her brow on the hills, and her feet to the sea, Santa Barbara stands - the Queen that''s to be.
Montecito''s evergreen boscage and vale, Fair, at the foot of the mountain reposes, Like a beauty asleep, while the partridge and quail Wing o''er her brow the fragrance of roses.
The emerald oaks o''er the hills slope away To the verge of the sea in arboreal shade.
While the thatch-and-tile cot of a primitive day Peep out o''er the homes that the Saxon has made.
