The Unwritten Literature of Hawaii: The Sacred Songs of the Hula, by Nathaniel B. Emerson


E iho ana a luna

E pi'i ana o lalo

E hui ana na moku

E ku ana ka paia



That which is above, be brought down.

That which is below, shall be lifted up.

The islands shall be united.

The walls shall stand upright!
