The following lines in calligraphic script by an unknown artist are included as a photo-transfer to the leaf:

On the edge of the world
My Islands sleep,
In a slumber soft and deep.
What should they know
Of a world of woe,
And myriad men that weep.

Mary Dillingham Frear.

These lines are from a poem My Islands by American poet and author Mary Dillingham Frear: (1870-1951)

…”whose works include “Our Familiar Island Trees,” “My Islands – Verses,” “Isles of Dreams: Verses,” “The Coco Palm and other songs for children,” and “Lowell and Abigail, a realistic idyll.” She co-authored “Flowers of Hawaii” and “Tropical Blooms, a portfolio of 40 flower prints by Henry Inn.” (1.)

Frear was married to Walter Francis Frear, (1863-1948) the 3rd Territorial Governor of Hawaii.
