  11. Poems • TO KALAKAUA(With a present of a pearl)The Silver Ship, my King - that was her nameIn the bright islands whence your fathers came -The Silver Ship, at rest from winds and tides,Below your palace in your harbour rides:And the seafarers, sitting safe on shore,Like eager merchants count their treasures o'er.One gift they find, one strange and lovely thing,Now doubly precious since it pleased a king.The right, my liege, is ancient as the lyreFor bards to give to kings what kings admire.'Tis mine to offer for Apollo's sake;And since the gift is fitting, yours to take.To golden hands the golden pearl I bring:The ocean jewel to the island king.
