Where the cocoa and cactus are neighborsA
Where the fig and the fir tree are oneB
Where the brave corn is lifting bent sabresA
And flashing them far in the sunB
-
Where maidens blush red in their tressesC
Of night and retreat to advanceD
And the dark sweeping eyelash expressesE
Deep passion half hush'd in a tranceD
-
Where the fig is in leaf where the blossomF
Of orange is fragrant as fairG
Santa Barbara's balm in the bosomF
Her sunny soft winds in the hairG
-
Where the grape is most luscious where ladenB
Long branches bend double with goldH
Los Angelos leans like a maidenB
Red blushing half shy and half boldH
-
Where passion was born and where poetsI
Are deeper in silence than songJ
A love knows a love and may know itsK
Reward yet may never know wrongJ
-
Where passion was born and where blushesE
Gave birth to my songs of the SouthL
And a song is a love tale and rushesE
Unchid through the red of the mouthL
-
Where an Adam in Eden reposesE
I repose I am glad and take wineM
In the clambering redolent rosesE
And under my fig and my vineM
