Ku, who pilots us through dream-land;

All ye Gods of broad Hawaii;

Kanaloa, guard well your tabus;

Candle-maker, Candle-snuffer;

Goddess, too, of passion’s visions;

Lightning red all heaven filling—

Pitchy darkness turned to brightness—

Lono, come, thou god of all fire;

Come, too, thou piercing Eye of Rain:

Speed, speed my prayer upon its quest!
