Ka haehae kiri, ka haehae uma, koia ka titia ki taku poho ko te ngira o momori, o mokemoke. Nā Hineteiwaiwa koe, nā Rēhia koe, nā rāua te āio o tō reo, te ihi o tō tū, te wehi o wō mata. E kui Hema, te māreikura whatu nei i tō iti, i tō rahi o Te Ūpoko o te Ika. Inā rā, ko te tīpare nāu i whakatāniko, kia renarena mai ko te tini tāngata ka tū ki te atamira. Auē rā koia ko koe ka tiraha mai ki te atamira ō wō tātau tīpuna. Arā e tāria atu ana koe e tō nui o Tūhoe i moumoutia ki te pō. Takahuri mai anō ko wō manaakitanga ki wō mahuetanga e pae nei, e haku nei. Kōrua e ngā ika huirua ka tangihia, ka tangihia. Kōrua rā e te aumangea, e Pāpā Sio, takatū nei te haumi o mokemoke ki tō rironga ki paerau. Auē te haehae o te uma! Kei tō tamāhine kei a Naere, kei to mokopuna kei a Keanu te puna roimata ka pukepukehia atu e mātau te tini mahuetanga mai i pā ki tō āio, ki tō ngākau. E pā, tē ea e kupu te tika o te tangi, o te mihi, o te pouri, o te mokemoke ki a koe. Kei whea rā te kahurangi e huna nei koe. Tāraia ki tō whakapikirangitanga he mahau tāwharau i tō whānau e haku nei, e tangi nei. Ahea rā te rangi ka mahea? Kei tawhiti pāmamao tonu pea te ata mai o te ao. Waiho mā kapua pani kia mā awhe.
