HULA NO KA MEIA FERN.

Kaulana mai nei o Joe Fern,
O ka Meia hoi o Hawaii nei.
A nau no i nawelo aku,
Ikeia Hawaii he aina nani.
Pane mai e ka leo mailuna mai,
E lanakila ka inoa o Joe Fern.
Hiiia i ka poli hoi la o Pele,
O ka lau la-i kou kapa ia.
He mamo oe mai na kupuna mai,
He inoa kiekie kau i ka hano,
Hanohano e ke kama kau mai iluna.
O puu daimana i ko umauma.
E ku Hawaii me Kaleponi,
Haku oe i ko lei alawa pono.
Hae ana na manu o ke kupulau,
Na moho Meia waiwai ole,
O ka Lei Daimana kau umauma,
A i hoa kuka me Kaleponi.
Hooheno ke aloha me Pelekane,
A welo e ka hae o Hawaii nei.
Imua kaua a lanakila,
O ke Akua mana loa kou kokua.
Hea aku no au o mai oe,
O Joe Fern kou inoa.

Girl of the lighthouse.
