Swollen as a snow-covering garment. The snow girdled the summit, Uniting the shoulders of my mountains, The front and back [of] Kahaliukua, Diffusing the akoa tears, offensive water of the mist. 15.

Koolau Wind of Wailua.The wind-mist[1] cloud of Wailua Seeks and embitters the water[2] from the sea. Wilted are the leaves of food-plants and trees; Ripened[3] are the stalks, the food of Makaukiu, The kukui blossoms[4] foretelleth the wind; 5. A sure messenger of the [coming] koolau. The results[5] are seen above at Kapehu; Seen by the people, they call for help[6] from the wind, [And] warn the canoes to flee [for safety]. The banana leaves come floating[7] down; 10. The hau blossoms and their mate, mokihi,[8] of the stream,[[523]] Passeth, floating[9] to the waters of Maluaka;[10] The sign of that fierce, relentless[11] wind, Devastating the forest of Maluakele, Taken[12] together with companion-man, lost, 15. Leaving[13] the sorrow and memories within, They vainly[14] grasp the sand, And simply cry at Moomooiki.[15] A narration [is this] of the imagination,[16] Not the word of mouth, which blames,[17] 20. Else affection would justly hold me guilty.[18] I am the sufferer[19] of love, Wandering[20] in the way with tears; At no time[21] was payment made for the house, I am indeed guilty. 25. | Ke Koolau o Wailua.Ka waiopua makani o Wailua, I huliia e ke kai, awahia ka wai, Awahia ka lau ai me ka lau hau, Pala ka ha, ka ai o Makaukiu.

[1] Waiopua is the name of a wind at Wailua, Kauai; literally cloud-water. [↑] [2] When the wind drives the sea into the mouth of a fresh water stream, the salt wateris at the bottom and the fresh water is at the top until it becomes sale, awahia; the wind also affects the leaves of taro plants and the hau, hibiscus. [↑] [3] Faded, dead are the leaves of the taro, the food at Makaukiu, a place of Wailua. [↑] [4] As spies, kiu, the kukui blossoms indicate the coming wind, they are swift messengers of the koolau or northerly wind. [↑] [5] Kuehu, to brush away, kindred to puehu, sweep them away to the mountain side of Kapehu. [↑] [6] The people cry for safety from the wind, kualo, and warn canoeists to seek places of shelter. [↑] [7] Floating down, holo newa, to glide slowly. [↑] [8] Mokihi, like mo kila, a lizard that lives under water, said to be large, hence the proper name Luakiha where they live. [↑] [9] Maalo, to pass on, pulelo, fluttering, or flying in the wind. [↑] [10] Maluaka, a place at Wailua. [↑] [11] Fierce, pitiless wind, kaili ino, that sweeps off his companion and strips the forest leaves of Maluakele, a highplace. [↑] [12] Lala lawe, swept off from, separated his body and companion, hoa kanaka, whereby he is lost. [↑] [13] Weeping and reflections remained behind. [↑] [14] Ke apo, etc., they grasp the sand in vain in their despair. [↑] [15] Weeping only was at Moomooiki, name of a place. [↑] [16] It is for supposition to give the history, hoomoolelo, i.e., of the persons separate from each other. [↑] [17] No one is able to blame them, aole ae, etc., none opens his mouth in condemnation. [↑] [18] E hewa pono ai, a fault for which I shall be justified by thee, O love. [↑] [19] I am the one that is greatly influenced by love, luaiele, the action of a mother when meeting her infant whom she has not seen for a longtime. [↑] [20] Kuewa, etc., homeless, friendless, going crooked in the path from weeping. [↑] [21] Or, there is no time wherein reward has been made, hence his guilt. [↑] | |
| Lahainaluna Chants. A LOVING DIRGE FOR L. L. UA.[1] Alas! the bright morning star has passed away, It was given away to God; It was hidden away by the dark clouds. He may be up with the stars Far above the sky in infinite space. 5. You have seen the beautiful Paradise; The beautiful place of the lamb, That is surrounded with gold and diamonds. Like the friendly rain of Hilo That is on the way to Hanakahi. 10. Loving thoughts predominate, As the yearning of mother and child, Pinching hard the skin of the lover; Firing the wheels of affection permeated with love. [I] am bemoaning thee, 15. Flowing tears doth flow for thee, [Like] the rushing sea of Makaiwa. The thunder roars in the sky, A professor in mathematics wert thou; A professor of science wert thou, 20. Seen by the eyes and seized by hands. Tumultuous was the voice of sorrow Being heard from island to island. Husband and wife separated; Broken are the bands joining Russia. 25. The friend of the sea has gone; Gone to dwell in the calm of Kona; Will not again see the uniting of the isles In the Kailua day of Lahainaluna. Memories of the comrades of the hot day of Makalii. 30. Glory is gone, the beauty has passed away, The elder brother has gone to the friendless land; We are children of the same parents, We shall meet there again, Never to be separated in that realm. 35. [[525]] Thou hast gone first and we shall follow, Weeping in loving remembrance of thee, L. L. Ua, Who has gone alone on the journey of sleep. The teacher has gone, his teachings have ceased; The departed spirit has been laid to rest; 40. Moved to the cliff of Hooipo; Taken there to Wahinekapu, The going off of the loved one To seek the companionship for this barren plain. Loud is the weeping and wailing 45. For the father of the companionless home. Brought together but soon separated; Taken by the rushing wind above. Scattering the fragments of love, Overflowing the top of Waialoha, 50. Loving thoughts are always for thee At the grassy plain of Lele. Take away the breath and life ceases, The breath has ended the thoughts within, The naked soul passed away. 55. Two things that are dear within, The love which has returned Though your soul has departed; Taken away to Kamalama below Before was the light and darkness at the rear. 60. Close thy eyes with love. The soul is returning to the coconut grove of Lele; To the dark clouds of Wailuku; To the cold misty rain of Kula; To the smoky sprinkling rain falling in the grass, 65. Joining the rain and the sun In the cold and chilly time. Return thy soul to Maunahoomaha, Rest from weariness and pain That was scattered, damaging the thicket, 70. The bird that eats lehua of Hauola, The rain-fog that hung over the woods, We thought you were there, but no. A shadow of the soul that went at dawn; At the breaking of the day. 75. The voices of the birds above are gayly singing, Your passing footsteps are sounding [[526]] Like the strange one of Maunapiku, A sad and loving memory of you. My love to Lanihulipo at the smoky crater; 80. Benumbing love, benumbed by the cold, Turning and facing the plain of Nahili; Plaiting mistakingly the faded red flowers of the thicket; Remembering thy love at the plain of Limaloa, Quickly recognizing the beauty of love; 85. Love of the sea of Pailolo and Kaiwi, Where you used to sail. You have gone away with good fortune; Your brethren are left behind in tears; Your elder brothers in sorrow; 90. Your many friends are mourning here, And your teachers are weeping. Your friends of the journey Have gone and passed the shade of Kaawela. Separated are we your brothers from the study room, 95. The room where pursued different studies; It was the ark of wisdom, Unhabited house of the mind, Death is an inheritance of the body. A memory of love to thee, 100. Farewell to thee who has gone ahead To see the heavens and their hosts. Your dreams of wisdom have passed To the double of the square and the thickness of the cube; To the fullness of the square and extract of the square root; 105. To the triangular and the algebra, Geometry and trigonometry; To the surveying and navigation. You have gone to the new Jerusalem, It is the inheritance of just persons; 110. It is the path quieting the wind Which we mistakenly held. You were ahead in all studies. Your studies are over, the body is prepared for its sleep, Sleeping by the sands of Lahainaluna, 115. Upon Jesus the Savior. [It is] for us to be comforted. [[524]] | Mau Mele no Lahainaluna. HE KANIKAU ALOHA NO L. L.

| Lamentation for Lahainaluna.[1] Love to you Lahainaluna, The chief parent of the Hawaiian Isles, The beautiful golden garment of the poor; The glory of the orphans. You are the one greatly thought of 5. By the new students from Hawaii to Kauai. We are happy over your everlasting beauty; Our minds are ever longing Just to see your honored home, And your beautiful golden fence. 10. O Lahainaluna, love to you, Where wise men have dwelt, There were our hearts made ever glad With the shady trees of your grounds Where your brethren encamp around thee. 15. O Lahainaluna, love to you, The shelter of the learned. You have found a new chief For the residents. From you have come forth 20. The honored men of the Hawaiian government; From your bosom there were sent out Deacons and disciples of the Lord. O Lahainaluna, I love you Who brought out the goodness of the Hawaiian Kingdom. 25. Where shall I find the one you long to see? Let us consider the learned men From Hawaii to Kauai. Is it right to have the flag half-masted By the Hawaiian Kingdom? 30. The sumach flowers turn toward the plain of Puopelu Resting safely with the breeze, the aa, Here we are the orphans, longing to be with thee. O Lahainaluna, I love thee, The breast of the orphans. 35. [[528]] You are the kawelu (grass) at the cliff of Nuuanu; At Nuuanu, the dividing line of knowledge, Seeking for you but never finding you. There you are at the Isthmus of Darien, Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. 40. O Lahainaluna, I love you. You are the sounding twine of the shoemaker; You are the sledge hammer of the blacksmith; You are the compass of the navigators; And the mud-hen singing at mid-night. 45. I heard a noise while asleep and awoke, O Lahainaluna, I love you. You were a hunch-back among the chiefs; You were the consulting companion of the two winds, The moae and the hauapepee. 50. They are the originators of the kona, To hide away your love Across to the stormy sea of Cape Horn. O Lahainaluna, I love you; Thou art the misty rain of Lilikoi 55. That is agitating my heart. You have seen Waialeale, You were delighted with the water of Haunu, Lovely Kaala sublime in its beauty, It was the beauty of the land, 60. You are the fragrant flower of Ainahau, that is kissed in all lands. In the midst of people, and the jungle of Africa. I love the lehua blooming on the plain, Satisfied in the sojourn that was blessed by the red rain, Murmuring at Kanehoa. 65. You was a friend in time of trouble at Lahainaluna, Just like the pervading of perfumes Flying over to the calm of Lele. I jumped to embrace you, but could not find you You were at Ieheulani. 70. Beautiful lies the field of Kaiwiula. O Lahainaluna, I love you, The greatest in the Kingdom of Hawaii nei. March 30, 1853.

A Loving Song for the Seminary.Deep regards, seminary, our mother of education, Our mother of this place, Our mother of the hot days, Our mother of the dust, Our mother of the cold weather that chills the skin, 5. The parent of the scattering rain, The mother of the grass glittering in the sun, Our regret for thee as thy children leave thee with love, My mother of the orphanage period in the hot and cold weather. Thou art cold, my love, 10. The sun was above and you were below, Regard to you, O united fame, My loving mother of the barren hill, My mother of the pleasant breeze, My mother of the sea-breeze, 15. My mother when at play, My mother when at work, My mother of the elule[1] food, My mother in the ascent of steep cliffs, And the trail of Kuia and Makili, 20. My mother of the pattering lehua rain. Makili was the mother of the fog of Kuia, You were known by the things made by you. Be compassionate to the woman with child, The mother who conceives frequently, 25. You have conceived these four or five years, You have long conceived And your time of delivery is at hand. You fell ill O pregnant woman, The approach of birth is released, 30. The red rain of birth is near, Your time of labor is one of these days. My love to you and the rest of your children,[[530]] Our love for our younger brothers, Our loving mother of the red dust, 35. Our loving mother, farewell. Farewell to thee, I return to the dry place, And the two-masted schooner which shadowed thee, farewell. Your face is hid, we cannot see you, our beloved, Our younger brother whom we love, who saw the place through you, 40. Ate at this hot and barren place. If I searched for you here I should find you, And by letters would you be found. Memories of school, devotion, lunch, roaming, sleeping, playing, and working time. If you searched there you would find us, 45. Memories of our parents, farewell to you all.
