<center><big>ANACAONA</big></center> 

A dark Indian maiden, 
:Warbling in the bloom'd liana, 
Stepping lightly flower-laden, 
:By the crimson-eyed anana, 
Wantoning in orange groves 
:Naked, and dark-limb'd, and gay,
Bathing in the slumbrous coves,
:In the cocoa-shadow'd coves,
Of sunbrif*ht Xaraguay,
:Who was so happy as [[Anacaona]],
The beauty of [[Espagnola]],
:The golden flower of [[Hayti]] ?

In the purple island,
:Crown'd with garlands of cinchona,
Lady over wood and highland,
:The Indian queen, Anacaona.
Dancing on Uic blossomy plain
:To a woodland melody :
Playing with the scarlet crane,
:The dragon-fly and scarlet crane,
Beneath the papao tree !
:Happy, happy was [[Anacaona]],
The beauty of [[Espagnola]],
:The golden flower of [[Hayti]]!

Naked, without fear, moving
:To her Areyto's mellow ditty,
Waving a palm branch, wondering, loving,
:Carolling "Happy, happy Hayti !"
She gave the white men welcome all,
:With her damsels by the bay;
For they were fair-faced and tall,
:They were more fair-faced and tall,
Than the men of Xaraguay,
:And they smiled on Anacaona,
The beauty of Espagnola,
:The golden flower of Hayti!

Following her wild carol
:She led them down the pleasant places,
For they were kingly in apparel,
:Loftily stepping with fair faces.
But never more upon the shore
:Dancing at the break of day,
In the deep wood no more, —•
:By the deep sea no more, —
No more in Xaraguay
:Wander'd happy Anacaona,
The beauty of [[Espagnola]],
:The golden flower of [[Hayti]] !
