My love for thee became great. 

 Alas, my frined ! 

 60. When I beheld Keoniaiia, we two wept to- 

 gether loudly. 

 'Twas on the day thereafter Kauluhinalo 



came up for us two to mourn ; 

 We (lid mourn together, for the love was 



great. 

 Then it seemed that we two were dwelling 



together, beloved one ; 

 It seemed as if 1 was looking at thee; 

 65. I saw them not — 



Those that once eased our troubled mind 



I saw them not at all. 



Kauluhinalo, Keoniana, they were the only 



two — 

 They were the only ones I saw since they 



were nearer me. 

 70. We did weep in the same place, 

 I observed not the chiefs. 

 ^^■hen we journeyed upward to Waimea 



the love was great, 

 For I saw the place we were wont to 



ascend. 

 Thus I wept till night came on, 

 75. And received the letter which Pupuka 



brought. 

 I was reached because I was close to him. 

 The chief also said that it was a letter. 

 And that I would weep on this day. 

 I asked him, "From whom?" 

 80. [He gave answer] "From Maui, from 



Harriet." 

 Then I wept, weeping very loudly — 

 Till Kuamoo heard my loud wailing. 

 He had already gone up before 

 And waited till I should appear. 

 85. l^ud were the sounds of our wailing. 



^^'e were still on the path as the sun went 



down, but kept ascending, 

 Alas! thou my companion of the night to 



sleep with : 

 .Mas! thou who are not seen by me. 

 How may I be able to see thee? 

 90. Where art thou? 



How fares thy companions, for 'tis eve, 

 And how spendest thou the night when 



thou sleepest? 

 Where art thou, my companion? 

 .Mas ! mv cateress ;
