WAIKNA; OR, ADVENTURES ON THE MOSQUITO SHORE.
BY SAMUEL A. BARD.
“Whatever sweets salute the northern sky,
With vernal lives, that blossom but to die;
These here disporting, own the kindred soil,
Nor ask luxuriance from the planter’s toil;
While sea-born gales their gelid wings expand,
To winnow fragrance round the smiling land.”
Goldsmith.
