Hon(j froin tlic Hula Ala'apapa 



From monii tain-retreat and root-woven ladder 



Mine eye loolvs down on goddess IMoana-Lehua. 



Then I pray to the Sea, be thou calm ; 



Would there might stand on thy shore a lehtia — 

 5 Lehua tree tall of Hopoe. 



The LehUa is fearful of man, 



Leaves him to walk on the ground below, 



To walk on the ground far below. 



The pebbles at Keaau grind in the surf; 

 10 The sea at Keaau shouts to Puna's palms, 



" P'ierce is the sea of Puna." 



Move hither, snug close, companion mine; 



You lie so aloof over there. 



Oh what a bad fellow is Cold ! 

 15 Not cold, do you say? 



It's as if we were out in the wold. 



Our bodies so clammy and chill, friend. 



Explanatory Remarks 



The acute or stress accent is placed over syllables that take the ac- 

 cent in ordinary speech. 



A word or syllable italicized indicates drum-down-beat.
