HOOHENO NO KA POLI LAUAE.

Nani wale no Kukuiolono, Kc kikowaena o Kauai; Paka hooheno a ka lehulehu, llaila makou ike iho ai, Na pua Jike ole oi a ka nani. Hoohihi ka manao a e lalau, I poke pua kau umauma. Aole nae hoi la a c liihi, Na huaolelo kau a ka wēli; Alai kii aku oe mai hoopa, l'a kapu ia na Alekana. Aole i ana iho e ka makemake, Na pua momi o Keaunaulu, UJu mahiehie i ka Uanoo, I ka ua lihau noe i ke kula; Laula ke kahua i haulani ia, L'kolu puni o ka lina poepoe. Ua lawa ka iini koi aloko, Ua ike ia Kukuiolono, Kau aku ka inanao no Waimea, E ike i ka wai ulailiahi. Ka hoa pili hoi o ka Waiken, Na wai kaulana o Manokalani. Aia i ka la'i a o Waiawa, Ka mu 'o lau niu opiopio. He hoa hooheno no Limaloa, No ka eueu a o Ainaike. Ike i ke onekani a o Noliili, Kohu vaiolina ke hone mai; Ua like a like me ke kaiino'a, Nononoula i ka wailiula. E ola no au me a'u lei, A kau i ka hae o ka lanakila. Haina ka puana ā i lonoia, O a'u lei o ka poli lauae. Hakuia e Mra W. Pa.
