HE KOREROREROTANGA NA WHETU, RAUA KO KAPUA.
E Kapu, e! haere mai ki konei noho ai; kia rongo koe ki aku kupu— I taku nohoanga i ko rara, titiro ana ahau, ka mahuta te marama i te pae; ka whakaaro au kite aroha o te Kai Hanga o tera mea nui, o tera mea whakaatarau i te pouritanga, i te torangitanga o te ra: —a i mea ano aku whakaaro, he mea whakahari tenei marama i nga tangata rere moana; ka akiakina a ratou kaipuke e te ngaru, a, ka pera nga whakaaro te pouri, mete pouritanga o nga wai o te moana; ka takiritia te marama i roto i te rua i huna ai tana mata humane, ata-ahua; a, ka tiaho tona uiratanga ki runga ki nga rewa, me nga ra ; ko reira whakapai ai nga kai whakatere ; a, ka ora mai i te atarangi o te po, o ratou ngakau wehi. Kapua. Ae e 'Tu,' he whakaaro tika ena; otira, kihai ou korero i whakahaerea, ki a Rona; kihai ano ra koe i ina hoki te ahua ! Nuku mai ra, kia whakapuakina atu e ahau nga mea onamata.— Ka ldte koe i nga mea e mangu mai ra i roto i te marama? Ko Rona tera; me tona taha wai, mete pohutukawa :•—kia rongo koe, ne ? Na! he haerenga na Rona, kite kawe wai i te atarau; no ka titi tonu ano te marama, engia ano he awatea. Te haerenga o te tangata ra, me tana ipu kite ringaringa, ka tae kite parepare o te wai, mete titi iho o te marama, piko kau ano kite utu i tana tahe, ka whakangaro te marama i a ia ki tua ki etahi kapua
mangu. Titiro ana te tangata ra, ka araia tona huarahi e te hinaki pouri, anga ana, Ka kanga ake kite marama! Na! ka tino whakatakariri te marama; rere tata iho ana, ka mau ki a Rona, mete taha wai ano kite ringaringa; pupuru noa ana a Rona kite Pohutukawa i tupu ai kite taha o taua wai; anana! ka takiritia katoatia nga pakiaka o taua rakau; a, toia ake ana a Rona, te taha wai, mete pohutukawa ; koia hoki era, e puranga iho ra! Whetu. Nonamata ena mea; no to tatou kuaretanga ; whakarerea atu ena: engari, ko nga mea e mangu mai ra i roto ite marama, he maunga; he wharua; he awa; he aha noa iho: he pono rawa tenei, kuakite hoki te tini o nga tohunga pakeha: heoi te nui o te koata i tirohia ake ai te marama! A, kite pu atu ana i nga maunga, e tuahu mai ana! Heoi ra, whakamutua ta taua korerotanga, ka torangi whakarere te marama kite pae.
