Atlantic Island

Nantucket.
Just a sandy wind-swept island!
What more would you have it be,
With a turquoise sky above it,
Around it a sapphire sea?

When its dawns are pearl and opal,
Its noons are crystal clear,
And its sunsets shower down gold dust,
Till the diamond stars appear.

When to those who are born on the island,
And to many from over the sea,
‘Tis fairer then all its jewels,
What more does it need to be?
— Mary Starbuck
