A LOVING DIRGE FOR L. L. UA. 



IIE KANIKAU ALOHA NO L. L. UA. 



Alas ! the bright niorniiig; star has passed 

 away, 



It was given away to God ; 



It was hidden away by the dark clouds. 



He may be up with the stars 

 5. Far above the sky in infinite space. 



Vou have seen the beautiful Paradise ; 



The beautiful place of the lamb, 



That is surrounded with gold and 

 diamonds. 



Like the friendly rain of Hilo 

 10. That is on the way to Hanakahi. 



Loving thoughts predominate, 



As the yearning of mother and child. 



Pinching hard the skin of the lover; 



Firing the wheels of atifection permeated 

 with love. 

 15. [I] am bemoaning thee, 



Flowing tears doth flow for thee, 



[Like] the rushing sea of Makaiwa. 



The thunder roars in the sky, 



A professor in mathematics wert thou ; 

 20. A professor of science wert thou, 



Seen by the eyes and seized by hands. 



Tumultuous was the voice of sorrow 



Being heard from island to island. 



Husband and wife separated ; 

 25. Uroken are the bands joining' Russia. 



The friend of the sea has gone ; 



Gone to dwell in the calm of Kona ; 



Will not again see the uniting of the isles 



In the Kailua day of Lahainaluna. 

 30. Alemories of the comrades of the hot day 

 of Makalii. 



Glory is gone, the beauty has passed away, 



The elder brother has gone to the 

 friendless land ; 



We are children of the same parents. 



We shall meet there again, 

 35. Never to be separated in that realm. 



.\uwe, ua nalo ae nei ka llokuloa 



malamalama, 

 L'a manuahiia aku la e ke Akua; 

 La paniia aku la e na ao Polohiwa. 

 .\ia paha la iluna i ka poe lalani hoku, 

 5. Iluna i ke aouli la oloko lilo aku. 

 Ike aku la oe ia Paradaiso nani ; 

 Kahi nani o ke Keikihipa, 

 I hoohiluhiluia i ke gula a me ke diamana. 

 Me he makamaka ala ka ua no Hilo 



10. Ka hele no a kipa i Hanakahi. 

 Akahi ke aloha e hana nei, 

 Iloko o ka wahine me ke keiki, 

 Iniki wela i ka ill o ka ipo ahi ; 

 Ahi loko huila i ke aloha. 



15. .\loha ana oe la e, 



Ke niuniu oe a ka wai kahe, 



Kahe makawalu ke kai o Alakaiwa. 



.Kiwaiwa ka hekili poha i ka lewa, 



He ahikanana oe i na mea helu ; 

 20. He puaakela oe i na mea ike. 



He ike na ka maka lalau ka lima. 



Nui ka pihe ke wawa nei 



Ke holo nei ka lohe i na moku. 



Moku ke kane kaawale ka wahine ; 

 25. Naha ka paa ka pili o Rusia. 



L^a hala ke kai ka makamaka ; 



Hoi no a noho i ka lai o Kona ; 



Pan ka ike ana i ka hono o na moku 



1 ka la ko Kailua o Lahainaluna, 

 30. Aloha mai na hoa o ka la wela o Makalii. 



Ua Ikaboda, ua hala ka nani, 



I'a hele ke kaikuaana makua o ka aina 

 makamaka ole ; 



I Ic mau kieki kakou na ka makua hookahi. 



Malaila no kakou e hui ai, 



35^ Aole he kaawale ana 'ku iloko olaila.
