TAKU INOI.
Kite mea tera tetahi he ngoikore atu, Homai he kaha ki aau ki te awhina iaia ; Ki te mea tera tetahi he matapo atu, Meitiga maku ia e arahi kia tata ki a Koe, Meinga kia pono aku wawata matemate Kia taea ai te mahi e matea ana e ahau : Kakahuria kite ora toku whakaaro ngoikore, Meinga au kia rite ki taku i tumanako ai ; Meinga kia kite au i roto i Tau mahi He rangimarie, ataahua atu nei i te hart ; Arahina au ki waho ia au ano, kite aroha A meinga au kia rite hei kai-noho mo te rangi, A, nawai ra ko nga mea kakara katoa, ko nga mea pai, , Ano ko te kainga pumau o toku wairua. John Gheenleaf Whittier.
