ON MAUI ISLE, by                    
First Line: The moon-drenched sea is calm tonight
Last Line: Than thy night is to me.
Subject(s): Maui Island, Hawaii


The moon-drenched sea is calm tonight
From Oahu to Maui's sands
And high, beyond its harbor light,
Iao Needle stands.

On yonder isle, soon to arise,
Her mind untrammeled, free,
Far from my side a maiden lies
I would could lie with me.

Lie easy, sweet. Thy dream be bright.
Thy sleep bring smiles to thee;
And kinder be to thee thy night
Than thy night is to me.
