Turned into meat for Pele,
Food for the heavenly flame.
Wonder and awe possess me!
From the ether above Kaua’i
To the blossoms afloat at Wailua
Ranges the flight of Pele’s gaze.
She sees Oahu floating afar;
Feels thirst for the wat’ry mirage;
Inhales the scent of mokihana—
The bath-water of Hiiaka.
