A Loving Song for the 

 Seminary. 



He Mele Aloha no 

 Kulanui. 



Deep regards, seminary, our mother of 



education, 

 Our mother of this place. 

 Our mother of the hot days, 

 Our mother of the dust, 

 5. Our mother of the cold weather 



that chills the skin. 

 The parent of the scattering rain. 

 The mother of the grass glittering 



in the sun. 

 Our regret for thee as thy children leave 



thee with love, 

 My mother of the orphanage period in 



the hot and cold weather. 

 10. Tliou art cold, my love. 



The sun was above and you were below, 

 Regard to you. O united fame. 

 My loving mother of the barren hill. 

 My mother of the pleasant breeze. 

 15. Aly mother of the sea-breeze. 

 My mother when at play. 

 My mother when at work. 

 My mother of the elule' food. 

 My mother in the ascent of 



steep cliffs, 

 20. And the trail of Kuia and Makili, 



My mother of the pattering lehua rain. 

 Makili was the mother of the fog of Kuia, 

 You were known by the things made b}- 



you. 

 Be compassionate to the woman with 



child. 

 25. The mother who conceives frequently. 

 You have conceived these four or five 



years, 

 You have long conceived 

 And your time of delivery is at hand. 

 You fell ill O pregnant woman, 

 30. The approach of birth is released. 

 The red rain of birth is near. 

 Your time of labor is one of these days. 

 My love to you and the rest of your 



children.
