Pōwhiri ki Te Pīpīwharauroa

E, Manu,

Tēnā koe,

Utaina atu aku kōrero ki runga i o parirau, kia kite mai ōku hoa o te motu, he kōrero nāku ki te ope hou ki roto o Rākaihoea[138]. Haere mai, e Manu, rere mai ki ōu marae maha, kawea mai te kai ma te waha, hei titiro ma te kanohi, hei whakarongo ma te taringa.
'Haere mai, kaore he kai o te kāinga nei, kei tawhiti te kai. Moi, moi, Haere mai!' Haere mai takahia mai nga tokahanga waewae o o mātua, o Te Korimako rāua ko te Waka Maori[139] me ērā kaumātua kua tauwehe atu rā ki te pō, ā, ora ake ko kōrua ko to tuakana ko Te Puke ki Hikurangi[140] . E kii ana te kupu neherā, na o koutou tīpuna.

'Ka mate kāinga tahi, ka ora kāinga rua,' pēnei rā me kōrua e rere nei ki ia marae, ki ia marae o te motu. Tēnā kōrua. page 118

[138]Rākaihoea: Ko te wharenui kei Kākāriki, wāhi o Waiapu. Ko te ingoa anō tēnei o te hapū.

[139]Ko te Korimako me Te Waka Maori: He nūpepa i tāia ki te Reo Maori. Ko nga nūpepa katoa a te Iwi Maori kei te Turnbull Library, anake.

[140]Te Puke ki Hikurangi: na Tamahau Mahupuku i tāngia e ia i Greytown. Moi, he kupu mo te karanga i te kuri. He kōrero pūrākau na Ngāti-Porou: Te taenga o te ope ki tētahi kāinga, kaore te tangata engari te manu kōkō (tui) nāna nei rātou i pōwhiri. Ma nga kupu a te kōkō: 'Moi, moi, haere mai. Kāhore he kai o te kāinga nei. Kei te tawhiti te kai. Moi, moi, haere mai.' Reweti T Kohere
