KoB Otu Motu o Haapai^ 



Nofo i Lifuka peau velenga, 

 Fakapo hoto fie eveeva. 

 Ne pauu taki Auhangamea. 

 Lofia e, 

 Taaki Lofia e, 

 Lokavailahi e. 



The Islands of Haapai 



I dwelt in Lifuka and I wished, 



Oh, murder ! how I wished for a change. 



I mischievously lead to Auhangamea. 



O volcano of Tofua ! 



O eradicating volcano! 



O crater lake of Tofua! 



Koe Fakanaanaa oe Fanau a IHukalala deals with the charms of \^avau 

 and is reminiscent of the song that Martin « reproduces. Both songs date 

 from the period of Mariner's sojourn in Tonga. Tlie Ulukalala referred to 

 in the heading of the following lullaby is Mariner's patron — Finau. The 

 lullaby has a mournful strain running through it, for it is the evening song 

 of Ulukalala's children in exile in Tongatabu. The song that Martin and 

 Mariner reproduce is the cheerful ebullition of a poet actually enjoying the 

 beauties of ^^avau, not merely calling them to mind when far distant.

Lullaby .... 

 The Lullaby of the Children 

 OF Ulukalala in Their Exile 

 AT Pea, in Charge of the 

 Chiefs Takai and Fae, After 

 the Battle at Feletoa in 

 \'avau. 



It is calm and the mist settles 



On the outer islands of Vavau. 



It seems as' if I were sailing 



When I praise it to you. 



I stand at the ironwood tree in Longomapu 



And glance from Fakafanuaamanu 



To where rises the mount of Talau 



And the woods in Pahalau. 



The smoke stirred by the dew 



And tilted by the northern wind, 



Lies low at Tolungahaku. 



Felefata and the shady road 



Leading to Koloa and Otufangavalu. 



There we will see the pool Utuafu. 



Come, let us leave the ClifT Road ; 



Let us go to Tulukingavavau 



And descend into the cave .^naefu 



And listen from the cave Anapupu 



To the roar of the underground stream.
