The quote says, "The Kings Highway
("El Camino Reál")
All in the golden weather, forth let us ride today,
You and I together, on the Kings Highway.
The blue skies above us, and below the shinning sea,
There's many a road to travel, but its this road for me.
He's a long road and sunny, and the fairest in the world -
There are peaks that rise above it in their snowy mantles curled,
And it leads from the mountains through hedges of chaparral,
Down to the waters where the sea gulls call.
It's a long road and sunny, it's a long road and old,
And the brown padres made it for the flocks of the fold;
They made it for the sandals of the sinner-folk that rod
From the helds in the open to the shelter-house of God.
We'll ride through the valleys where the blossom's on the tree,
Through the orchards and the meadows with the bird and the bee,
And we'll take the rising hills where the manzanitas grow,
Past the gray tails of waterfalls where the blue violets blow.
Old conquistadores, O brown priests and all,
Give us your ghosts for company when night begins to fall.
There's many a road to travel, but it's this road today,
With the breath of God about us on the King's Highway."
