 O Palma, if thou hearest,

Thou proud and princely tree,

Thou knowest that my Dearest

Is emblemed forth in thee—

My kingly Palm, my Dearest.

I am his Moon admiring,

His wooing Wind, his Star;

And I glory in desiring

My Palm-tree from afar—

Glad as happier lovers are,

Am happy in desiring.

Acapulco, Mexico, 1863.

EDITH.
