Dawn in San Francisco,
And George Sterling lies dead.
How was it last night,
Great singer of songs?
Only a deeper darkness?
Or did you soar far
To the bright realm
Of Christ and Socrates
Communing on Calvaries?
Was Cleopatra your host?
Did she love Antony
Or brave Cæsar,
Or an unsung slave?
Did you at last meet
Your blood brothers
Dante, Shelley, and Keats?
From your new world
Of wizardry send a sign!
