Hawaiian Hilltop (Taggard collection)/Portygee Love-Song
PORTYGEE LOVE-SONG
The Portuguese were one of fifteen successive nationalitiesimported into the Islands to do sugar-planting.
Dolores Lane was where she livedBefore she lived with me,And when she left Dolores LaneThere was no one to see;She left it in the bitter rainTo come and live with me.
Within my house is firelight,Without, is bitter rain.She does not love the firelight,—Against the window-paneShe leans and looks and longs, to-night,For dull Dolores Lane.
