Where the sunset trails its splendor o’er the waters of the West

With the sun setting behind them, native Hawaiians move an outrigger canoe, possibly on Kaneohe Bay, located on the northeast coast of the Island of Oʻahu.

The following lines in calligraphic script by A.R. Gurrey Jr. are included as a photo-transfer to the leaf:

Where the sunset trails
its splendor o’er the waters
of the West.

 

This line from the poem Hawaii by Hawaiian poet Anna Matilda Paris. (1843-1917)
