Book Buying and Reading In Hawaii

Wouldn't you like to go to-day and
browse
on hillside slope where the winds ca
rouse
IN an elfin dance with the daisies tall.
And the iarks sing loud, and the thrushes
caai.
And the peach and apple blossoms float
Like each was an-opal tinted boat,
With fafry helmsman, drove along
On aa airy fairy stream or song.
And you'd almost catch the elfin hail,
And an almost glimpse of the elfin sail,
AND. where you dreamed meath the apple
tree.
The waves would run of an inland sea,
Each wnve's crest white with the mar
gt1erftes,
And. for where the sea and the headland
meets.
Just an Old gray wall where the shadows
And a maid and lover might come and
sit.
FTeigh-o. but know of a place, 1 do,
Tor all OF the world like that, don't you?
Fhe wall is OF square-hewn stones, and
grown
With centnry's moss. and carved my
own
And another's name on its face one day.
When she and 1 in our childish play
Had climbed the hill and had wandered
there:
Ny barefoot sweetheart young and fair.
Hetsfs-ol L dol know of the place
Where the grassy seas green pillows
race,
And know the place where with rock
and nail
/ carved our names; and the blossoms
sail
In the same old way; but the barefoot
maid
With the sky blue eyes who stood half
afraid
By my side is gone, and I'm old and lone
And as gray and worn as the ickened
