On the cover:
THE DROUTH

From Shasta south to El Cajon,
From Tahoe to the sea-girt shore,
No cloud in answer to our moan
Bears prophecy of rain once more.

The north wind blows a bitter drouth,
The west wind sweeps across the plain,
But O the wind of east and south
Comes not with cheering sign of rain.

The herbage starts not on the hills,
The cattle starve in pastures sear,
The fruit trees wilt and babbling rills
Lapse off in sand and disappear.

O clouds of hope, O welcome wind,
We pray thee kiss our fainting flowers;
To this fair fruitful land be kind
And bless us with abundant showers.
