by Alfred Tennyson, Lord (1809 - 1892)
Naked, without fear, moving
Language: English
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!
