Akā, ua like ia me ka wao akua i ka pō, ke ala aʻe ka mahina ma luna o nā kuahiwi,
a he piliona mau hōkū e hoʻopiha i ka lani.
He mālie ia, a ʻoluʻolu ... akā ka mālamalama lahilahi o ka lani,
a me ka host moonlit o kēlā me kēia lā Mass,
e lawe i ke one e ʻā ana a hiki i ka hakahaka nui
he mea ʻole i ʻike ʻole ʻia.
