SOMEWHERE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The weasel thieves in silver suit
Last Line: Robinson, and fairy tale of the white man—all celebrate california.
Variant Title(s): Thieves


The weasel thieves in silver suit,
The rabbit runs in gray;
And Pan takes up his frosty flute
To pipe the cold away.

The flocks are folded, boughs are bare,
The salmon take the sea;
And O my fair, would I somewhere
Might house my heart with thee.

ELLA STERLING MIGHELS
[Aurora Esmeralda]
1853

Author of The Story of the Files, our best record of the writers of
early California; also of Literary California, a miscellany of poetry, prose
and portraits. Her latest book is an autobiography, Life and Letters of a
Forty-Niner's Daughter. Her Little Mountain Princess, Society and Babe
Robinson, and Fairy Tale of The White Man—all celebrate California.
