HE WAIATA TAWHITO.

E tangi e, te ihu e, whaki whakarere,
Au anake ra, kei te poti o te ngutu,
E mate ana roto, ki te tau a te rau,
Kihai penei, i taku whanaketanga,
Te houtupu e, kia au iho ai, taku moe ki te whare.

Me toko, kia mamao,
Penei e te hoa, kawhakina taku iti,
A noho i te au, o Kuri—aropawa:
A tomokia atu te whare o Miroa,
A whia au, te whakarewarangi,
A titi taku rangi, te remu o te toroa,
A pa ki au, nui whakama noa.
