20. Wither traveled thou in departing from 

 me? 



'Tis I that am seeking thee. 



Wither journey thou on deserting me? 



"Tis thou that I am now locating. 



Where indeed shall I meet thee? 

 25. Why went thou away 



And left me, thy companion, 



Thy friend? 



1, indeed! Alas! my companion of the 



night ; 

 My kapa that kept me warm ; 

 30. My skin that was not cokl when slept with 



in the night. 

 Alas ! the chills that possess me on account 



of thee ; 

 Where indeed art thou? 

 'Tis only I that now am sleeping, 

 For thou, my husband, art not ; 

 35. ^ly second in the pleasure of the night; 

 My friend. 



My love for thee shall not cease. 

 The love that cometh unto me. 



Where art thou my companion in the heat 

 of Waikiki ; 

 40. My companion on the strand of Koko ; 



Alas! thou my friend. 



Alas I my object that knows no end of 

 wailing, 



"Tis only wailing with me who dwells here.

 45. \\'here art thou? 



.\t your departure my love waxed great. 



How oblivious was I when we dwelt to- 

 gether, 



But when thou hadst gone away my love 

 for thee welled within. 



I did weep till the strand was reached ; 

 50. I did also look and saw ye sailing onward : 



1 did weep till I came hither. 



1 did meet Kuamoo 



.\nd we two were loud in grief for thee. 



When Kaleiopapa and others landed I 

 wept aloud for thee, 

 55. For niethought that Kaleiopapa wert thou, 



.\nd my passion was soothed by him. 



Then when I looked at Kauluhinalo
