Once more the sun is shining Upon Pacific seas, The Wilhelmina sailing As steady as you please. The stowaways appearing From every nook and door, We gaze at smiling faces We have not seen before. The deck sports are in progress— Just carnivals of fun Where skill is mostly lacking, Oft bullhead luck hath won. 'Tis visions of Waikiki And dusky maidens there That cause strong arms to waver, And partners to despair. Movies on the upper deck And dancing down below Make of life a pleasant song As on our way we go. And then the Captain's dinner, And fancy full-dress ball, The last night all together, The climax of it all. Now Honolulu harbor, Here for a time we part For trips around the islands Before our homeward start. Hawaii, thou dost conquer, Our hearts we yield to thee, Isles of flowers, green emeralds, Set in a sapphire sea. P. S. AT HONOLULU We are in mid Pacific, Forever here we stay Unless upon the ocean We make our getaway. There is no airplane service, We seek a bridge in vain. Viking thou, bedecked with flowers, Defy the sea again! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HUFFMAN'S PHOTOGRAPH OF THE GRAVES OF THE UNKNOWN AT LITTLE BIGHORN by KAREN SWENSON NAPOLEON by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ONE SHORT HOUR by RICHARD CHENEVIX TRENCH THE BLUEBIRD by WILLIAM P.
