Puna Lau Momona. 



10. 



Puna spread with fertility, rich in 



fragrance. 

 Expanding the woods of Panaewa 



in the rain, 

 .V rain, a steady rain for the lehua, 

 A prevailing lehua aspect through 



nuich moisture 

 For the hala blossom friend of Kaulumano. 

 Hilo arises [calling] a breeze, a fragrance, 

 A fragrance a.s of passing over lehua, twice. 

 \'ain [was the] cold wind of Omaolena, 

 Revealing toward dawn the cliffs. 

 Many were the falling streamlets; 

 The brook of Palikaua flowed slowly.
