All her loving childhood

B. Blacher

All her loving childhood

Breezes from the palm and canna

Fann'd this queen of the green wildwood,

Lady of the green Savannah:

All day long with laughing eyes,

Dancing by a palmy bay,

In the wooded paradise,

The cedar-wooded paradise

Of still Xaraguay:

None were so happy as Anacaona,

The beauty of Espagnola,

The golden flower of Hayti!
