Namanula Hill
pp. 43-44 · Read in the full issue
(From Government House, Rabaul) THE garden with a magic peace was fraught.
Trees lazing in the tropic afternoon, Tall crotons shaded green to warmest red, Hibiscus, bougainvilleas aflame, And orchids pale as moonlight on the sea.
Out of the hearts of trees scarce audibly A sigh escaped; then all the paths grew still, And from the nearby verdant Mother Hill, Which slumbers on the bosom of the sky, I drew companionship, as long gone by The Poet Shepherd to the hillside came And for the strength of generations sought.
Freda Macdonnell.
