TRANSLATION

From the Pit, doubtless, breathes Pu’u-lena,

With its waft of woodland perfume—

A perfume drunk in with rapture

On the beach of belovéd Haena.

There wafts to me this premonition,

This vision and dream of the night:

I must be gone in the morning:

I foresee I must travel to-morrow.

A farewell kiss ere I journey;
