.Mas my companion from the feast of 



Kahiki that hath no equal ; 

 r^Iy friend from the beautiful things of the 



foreigner, 

 Woe indeed be to us. 

 Alas, my companion oi the summer that 



hath passed away : 

 My com]jaiiion among our friends; 

 They have gone away but we two still 



remain. 

 Here I am now alx)ut to leave thee. 

 Alas ! my companion 

 That I requested thee not. 

 I thought the tody was the guerdon. 



Not so ! I am to leave thee, 



I have no longer patience for thee. 



Alas my companion ; my companion in the 

 northeast trades of Honolulu. 



.Vlas my c\)nipaiii(in in the bitter rain of 

 Manoa ; 



Alas my companion un the plain of Kewalo, 



And of Koula. and Pahua. 



Alas my companion in the permeating heat 

 of Haliimaile ; 



•Mas my comjianion ; alas my husband ; 



Alas my endeared wreath, 'tis a farewell. 



Love is like a husband that keeps close to 

 the tody ; 



My night of the rain, uf the sun. 



Alas my lord ! 



Alas my object that I find not when look- 

 ing around. 



Woe be to us, 



A farewell from one who knows no end of 

 wailing from Waikoloa.

'Tis Kamaikui that bids thee farewell, 155. 



Whose love for thee is great : 



Which is beyond power to write unto thee. 



There were no feathers save one only. 



When they all fell asleep 



It was at midnight that I wrote; iCo. 



It was at midnight that I heard of the 



ship's sailing. 

 I went up to Keiki for a feather [pen]. 

 I received tlie paper. 

 Rut one feather onl\-. 



.\t midnight I wrote, I'l.S- 



W'lien dawn came on a part was done; 



Ke aloha aku nei o Kamaikui ia oe, 



Nui loa no kona 'loha ia oe, 



Aole ia e pono ke palapala ia oe, 



Aole hulu hookahi no hulu.

 Wanaao hoi paa kekalii.
