Excerpt from The Message of the Missions
The highway still is marked by mission bells, By Spanish monks erected there, of yore, To point the trail along an unknown shore. No fairer road in all the land is found, By ocean laved by misty mountains crowned; It is the King's Highway today, as then, When it was trod by Priest and Indian.
