Famoso Puerto, landlocked and wide, Of which the priest of Bueno told, and where Two hundred years ago Vizcaino s galleys rode, Concerning which the King commandment gave To build beside the shore and claim the land. " And while they gazed upon the sea, behold, About two leagues from off the shore the ships Of Serra, rolled in splendors of the eve!
Beside the beach they lighted signal fires And watched the ghost- white faces of the surf Until a sudden dawn consumed the stars And swept the shado...ws from the sea.
In stole And alb arrayed, chanting Te Deums loud, Came Padre Serra to the shore, the while From iron lips the ships spoke thunders to the sea.
Ten varas from the sandy beach they marched, Priests, Catalans and neophytes, and there An enramada spread, and blessed and set The cross beneath the selfsame mighty oak. Whereunder Priest Ascension chanted Mass Two hundred years before ; and while the voice Of cannon shook the groves, the heathen folk In wonder looking on, the Governor came And, drawing sword, claimed sea and shore, and all The people for the King ; and with such pomp El, CARMELO.
