HE NGERI MO TE KAI KORE.

E noho ana, i toku whanga,
Ka whakamau ki waho ra;
Panga reo mai, no Taharoku,
Peka mai ki konei;
E kore koe e karangatia,
Kei kite, i te kai kore o te kainga;
Kei ki koe, noku te kaiponu;
No te kai ano, te kore noa.
Te whai au, te tira haere
No Te Tatara, ki Mokoia,
Te whare kura i a Kahawai;
Kei ruarua, e te ngakau, ki a Taraia.
