Ko Nga Moteatea, Me Nga Hakirara O Nga Maori

HE KARAKIA.*

HE KARAKIA.^*

Tina te tawiri,
Tina te tamore,
Tina i a Whakaohorau;
Awhitia,
Pupuru ra,
Tawhi ra,
Ki tamoremore nui, no Papa,
Rarau he aka matua-iwi.

^* From the letter of the Cook's Strait natives to the Queen, February 5, 1851:
—“Tenei tetahi kupu pupuru a maton mo Kawana Kerei.”
