MELE HOOIPOIPO, by CHARLES W. KENN First Line: I searched for you, my sweetheart Last Line: To keep it always, to remember. Subject(s): Leis | ||||||||
I searched for you, my sweetheart, throughout the length and breadth of Hawaii; After many a moon I found my love Beneath the pandanus trees. And there we lingered; I strung a lei fashioned from the fruit of the pandanus; she was so happy, so proud to wear it, to keep it always, to remember. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NEGLECTED LEI by MILDRED WATSON I KA PO, MELE KANAENAE by CHARLES W.
