“Just a sandy wind swept island!
What more would you have it be?
With a turquoise sky above it,
Around it sapphire sea.
When its dawns are pearl and opal,
Its noons are crystals clear,
And its sunsets shower down gold dust
Til the diamond stars appear.
When to those who are born on the island,
And to many from over the sea,
Tis fairer than all its jewels.
What more does it need to be?” — M. Starbuck
