J ane L. Stanford,
A name we can revere,
N oble-hearted woman,
E arnest and sincere.

L ending others pleasure,
A iding all to rise,
T ruly her beneficence
H as been to us a prize.
R est, thou noble woman,
O ur friend so good and true.
P eople must admire her who never failed to do

S uch simple deeds of kindness
T hat the poor can emulate,
A nd noble deeds whose grandeur
N e'er fail to stimulate.
F riend of California,
O ne we have loved so well,
R emembrance is our heritage,
D eeds now thy fame must tell.
