That wonderful Pit of Puna!
The loss of her fish still weighed upon the mind of Mana-mana-ia-kaluea. Sitting down on a convenient rock, she mourned aloud:
Aloha wale ka pali o Pi-na-na’i,
Ka lae iliili ma-kai o Hono-manú, e!
He u ko’u, he minamina, e-e,
I ka lilo ka i’a i ka poho o ka lima—
A lilo, e-e!

How dear the cliff of Pi-na-na’i,
And the pebbly cape at Hono-manú!—
