THE "HosPITAL POET"
The latest production of his genius
is u memorial ode to the memory of
the deceased royal patroness of the
institution. Here is the ode:-
EMMA HAS GONE.
Her life was gentle, and the elements
So mix d in her that nature might stand
up
And say to all the world,
"This was a woman. '-Skakesbeare.
Like u thumderbolt hurled through the
unknown space
Came the shock of the good Queens
death,
And grief welled up from the Nations
heart
Into wailings not born Of breath.
That the pride of Hawaii nci's daughters
and sons,
One for whom they would gladly have
died,
Should be suddenly taken from out of
their midst,

When Queen Emma was summoned
away.
Her heart was fountain of love for hel

And her hand was extended to all
Wall on, bereaved mourners, raise re-

The royal dear friend we have known
As Freedom loud shrieked when hel
champion fell,
So Charity shrieked and doth MOURN

her cause
No more shall her banner be borne.
Others have gone who were loved, ant
We're m0urned
BY thousands who knew Of their worth
But thou vert IL something apart from
them all,
And thine equals are few upon earth.
, What praiseworthy monument thou
didst create,
: When thy Hospital rose into view,
! And the stricken ones cared for ant
succor'd therein
Bless thee daily as one among few.
