INVITATION
Oh come with me to Hatepe By Taupo's fairy shore, And I will give you Paradise. What can I give you more ? For you shall hear the bell birds's note, Ethereal in the dawn, And the thrilling whirr of running reel Adventuring in the morn. Your feet shall find the lush path That beckons up the river; Your questing rod find living steel With every nerve a-quiver. Your eyes shall search for lurking form In every shadowed eddy. And may your line be fairy light, With cast controlledv and steady. And here in sylvan Hatepe Like Stevenson, who wrote In well-remembered poesy 'Neath Apia's skies remote. Here are rest and quietude, Profund and tranquil sleep, E'en as the hunter from the hill, The sailor from the deep.
