Ko Nga Moteatea, Me Nga Hakirara O Nga Maori

HE RANGI-POI.*

HE RANGI-POI.*

Me tipao, taku haere,
Ki Nukutaurua,
Ki a Te Kahu-o-te-rangi,
Kei riri mai Hinewehi, ki a au;
Me tuku atu,
Ki a koe anake, te mutunga,
Whiti ana te ra, i tua.

* Sung at Auckland to the Governor by Te Rauparaha, previously to his release, to signify that no jealousy need exist regarding his influence over the native tribes.
