ROSE ILIAHI.

Hoohihi ka manao e ike
I ka nani o ka rose Iliahi
Hoohenoheno ana i ka poli
I ka wekiu lei o luna.

Cho:—Ina ua pili o ka Pela
Me ka pali kapu o Kakae
Laha ai na Waieha
I ka malu a ke ao.

Ua nani e ka malu a ke ao
Ua lai ua lana malie
Kuhi ana hoi au a he pono
O ka hooniniapa ana iho.
