KAPIOLANI.

I.

When from the terrors of Nature a people have fashion’d and worship a Spirit of Evil

Blest be the Voice of the Teacher who calls to them,

“Set yourselves free!”

II.

Noble the Saxon who hurled at his Idol a valorous weapon in olden England!

Great, and greater, and greatest of women, island heroine Kapiolani

Clomb the mountain, and flung the berries and dared the Goddess, and freed the people

Of Hawa-i-ee!
