Hawaii gathers for play,

Stumble-blocks cleared from the way—

Fit rule of the king’s highway.

Let each one embrace then his love;

For me, I’ll keep to my dove.

Hark now, the signal for bed!

Attentive then to love’s tread,

While a wee bird sings in the soul,

My love comes to me heart-whole—

Then quaff the waters of bliss.
