WHISPERINGS, by                    
First Line: Palm leaves, slender and beautiful palm leaves
Last Line: The memories your music wakes in them?
Subject(s): Hawaii


Palm leaves, slender and beautiful palm leaves,
Touched fitfully by spectral fingers
Reaching so eagerly from out the darkness,
Who rides the wind to hear your eerie music?
What phantoms from the forest's silences,
From cloud-topped mountain, from the moveless sea,
Thinking of old Hawaii, walk this night
Beside me, whispering; ever whispering
The memories your music wakes in them?
