HILO'S HOSTELRY by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS

First Line: HILO, OF THEE I OFTEN DREAM!
Last Line: AND PLANT IT SECRETLY.
Subject(s): GUESTS; HAWAII; ISLANDS OF THE PACIFIC; TRAVEL; VISITING; OCEANIA; JOURNEYS; TRIPS;
Hilo, of thee I often dream!
Long live thy Hostelry
Where rarest wine is guava juice,
Both host and guests agree.
A thimbleful doth whet the taste
To seek a guava tree,
And smuggle it to our Homeland,
And plant it secretly.
