TAPU.
Topine, Topine, what do you say? That swamp is tapu; See the dead ruupo; No rusb will grow there. No creek will flow there— I tell you lbs tapu, Oh, come away, Topine, Topine, my thanks to thee. My heart was haunted, Sorrow-enchaunted, No hope would ride there, joy would tide there Foolishly daunted— ' Now am I free. Wellington. ~ EILEEX WGGAN.
