HE WHAKATUPATO.
E koa ana a Ingarangi me ona koroni huhua i te ra nui o te Kuini, e kikii ana nga pepa i nga whakapehapeha mo te mana, mo te toa, mo te kaha o Ingarangi, ka puta te waiata e rnau ake nei te whakamaoritanga, na tetahi o nga tangata matau o Ingarangi i tuhituhi.
" KEI WAREWARE MATOU.” ( “ Lest we forget.” Kipling. ) 1 E te Atua o matou tupuna, i matauria inamata, Te kai-hautu o nga matua e pae nei; Kei raro i te kapakapa o tou ringa, O matou mana e whakahaere nei. E te Ariki, e te Atua o nga mano, e noho ki a matou, Kei wareware— kei wareware matou. 2 Ka tau te hiere, ka whakatoririki te umere, Ka nunumi nga kingi, nga toa i nga kurae; Kei te toitu tonu ia tau whakahere onamata, Te ngakau iti, te ngakau maru. E Ariki, ete Atua o nga mano, e noho ki a matou, Kei wareware— kei wareware matou. 3 Nga manuao i huia mai i tawhiti, kua marara; Kua mate nga ahi i taahuna, i nga taumata ; Reree ! nga whakapehapeha onanahi Kua tanumia ngatahitia me Niniwe me Taira. E te Kai-whakawa o nga iwi, tohungia matou, Kei wareware — kei wareware matou. 4 Kite kawea ete whakapehapeha, ka wairangi matou Ka tatakii nga arero e kore nei e wehi i a koe Ka whakamanamana pera me nga tauiwi, Me nga iwi ririki kaore nei i raro i te ture. E te Ariki, e te Atua o nga mano, e noho ki a matou, Kei wareware— kei wareware matou. 5 Mo te ngakau maori, i whirinaki ke Kite tangi ote pu, kite pakari ote rino; Mo a te tangata hanga i tu ki runga i te puehu, Tiaki kau, te karanga mau e tiaki; Mo te kupu wairangi, mo te kupu maka noa, Ete Ariki, tukua mai tau atawhai ki tou iwi. Amine. He taitamariki noa te tangata nana nga kupu nei ; tona ingoa ko Ratiata Kipiringi. Ko ana tohutohu ki tona iwi Pakeha kei roto i ona waiata, i whakamaoritia ake nei tetahi me kore etahi kupu e rawe mai kia tatou ki te iwi maori; e whakahoki anaiai ngawhakaaro o te Ingirihi ki runga i to ratou kaupapa i tipu ai ratou hei iwi nui, ara te whakapono, te whakawhirinaki kite Atua. I tino mihia tenei waiata e te ao katoa. He mana tino nunui a Roma, a Kariki a Pahia, otira i te korenga o te tote o te Whakapono hei whakaora, kua mate kua pirau inaianei. He iwi tino matau a Haina, otira ite kore o te Whakapono o te Karaiti, kei te heke tonu atu. Ite warewarenga o nga Hurai kia Ihowa kua whakamararatia ratou kite ao katoa. Tangohia te Whakapono i Ingarangi ko tona hekenga ano tena ki raro ; whakarerea e te iwi Maori te Whakapono, ko tona tino matenga ano tena. “ E te Ariki, e te Atua o nga Mano, noho tonu kia matou, Kei wareware kei wareware matou. ”
