Cross of Trees. 
 Planted by Joaquin Miller. 
 
 May we remember to bear our cross what- 
 ever it be 
 Bide patiently; both gain and loss they bal- 
 ance eventually; 
 They are part of the perfect plan 
 And faith in God's greatest gift to man. 
 
 Until we have proven our perfect belief 
 That God is good, whatever He give; 
 
 Until we have learned to be grateful for 
 grief 
 We have not learned to live; 
 
 For the more we suffer and survive 
 The greater we are if still alive. 
 As a bird is rocked in its tree-top nest, 
 As a babe is safe on its mother's breast, 
 In the arms of The Infinite rock and rest. 
 Knowing that what God gives is best. 
 
NOTES 
 
Joaquin Miller's "Abbey.' 
 
 Crescent, cross and rays of the sun- 
 All symbols of the eternal One.

Occupied by the Poet's Mother. 
 
 Where Margaret Miller lived for many 
 
 years, 
 In tranquil righteousness devoid of tears. 
 
NOTES 
 
A 
 
 A Beauty Bit. 
 
 Bending blue of benediction; 
 
 Fantasy of leaf and fern. 
 Mid sun-mist incense on earth's altar 
 
 The candles blossom, blaze and burn. 
 
NOTES 
 
Juanita's Wigwam. 
 
 Spirit by flesh no longer bound 
 Roams the "Happy Hunting Ground. 
 
NOTES 
 
Sanctuary to Memory. Erected by Juanita Miller. 
 
 Shrine for the past, for the present, for that 
 
 which is to be, 
 Surely the present and future are children 
 
 of memory. 
 
NOTES 
 
No thing has ever happened to me 
 But what the future has made me see 
 How good of God to chasten me. 
 Now when there is a troubled sea 
 Into my shell — my Sanctuary 
 I slip, where myself and I are free, 
 With faith, with truth, with memory; 
 In silence and serenity. 
 
NOTES 
 
The Guest Cottage. 
 
 Where artists followed their favorite muse 
 And came and went as fate might choose. 
 
NOTES 
 
Funeral Pyre. Erected by Joaquin Miller. 
 
 That his ashes might ascend up to the sun 
 
 in smoke and fire — 
 Mingling with the elements, was his desire. 
 
NOTES 
 
When we saw his ashes float on flame into 
 the air, 
 
 Somehow we heard within our conscious- 
 ness in answer to the passion of our 
 prayer: 
 
 Peace, peace, grieve not, for I am here and 
 there, — 
 
 Boundless beauty everywhere part of the 
 most perfect plan 
 
 Wherever truth shall enter man; 
 
 Light and love and poetry. 
 
 Peace and plenty, ecstacy 
 
 Vast, unlimited and free. 
 
 I am what I wish to be; 
 
 I live for all eternity 
 
 In spirit and in memory.

 Pyramid to the First Law Giver, Moses. 
 Erected by Joaquin Miller. 
 
 
 
 As we follow His commandments so shall 
 
 our peace be 
 And in wise obedience find true liberty.

 Tower to Robert Browning. 
 Erected by Joaquin Miller. 
 
 Sensitive "Poet of the Soul" 
 Leading us ever to a sacred goal 
 Where dwell the spirit people of the brain 
 And where "Childe Roland to the dark 
 tower came."

 Erected to John C. Fremont by Joaquin Miller. 
 
 From where the pathfinder saw the sun 
 sinking in golden splendor at the strait 
 And so called it "The Golden Gate." 
 
Warm, red sun kissed the "Gate" good 
 night 
 
 Mid purple pomp and cloth of gold 
 Great gorgeous colors dropped from sight, 
 
 Deep down into my heart they rolled. 
 
 Shy silver stars came out and sang 
 Each one in perfect harmony, 
 
 Until the air with music rang 
 
 And all my soul went calling thee.
