TURANGAARERE.
October 6th 1874. To the Wananga. Friend, greeting to you. We the tribes here received a copy of your Wananga. Greeting, and we have seen also your greeting towards us, Friend, I will not be able at present to send correspondence as a load for yon the reason yon will see by this bit of poetry. ' Here is Taihakoa (moon) thirteen days old, Here is the lice who sleeps on its side And shrubs of Aotea, ' Which stands in the forest, A trench for you who shew reluctance to move In a lonesome house, ' This night daylight will not come soon, We will climb the hills of Manahia, I will delay no longer, For the travellers at the South, To your parent they will easely go, To gather same Titope, As a garment for your sister, And not for you. E tama, E tama, &c, &c. Kerei, o Turangaarere.
