** E ha- | hai ana i ka | liko  [ACHS only]
Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs
As it glided through the trees
Still following ever the liko
The ‘ähihi lehua of the vale.  

 
Farewell to thee, farewell to thee
Thou charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers
One fond embrace,
'ere I depart
Until we meet again.

Thus sweet memories come back to me
Bringing fresh remembrance of the past
Dearest one. yes, thou are mine own
From thee, true love shall ne'er depart

I have seen and watched thy loveliness
Thou sweet rose of Maunawili
And 'tis there the birds oft love to dwell
And sip honey from thy lips    [HMA]
