Subject: Celebrations

Here's celebrating the completion of the splendid life of a magnificent lady,
magnificent beyond her royal station: Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu, the
Maori Queen. 

My condolences to the Maori people and to all New Zealanders. Dame Te
Atairangikaahu was the embodiment of grace and dignity.

Ki a Kui, Kahurangi tikanga pai, ka noho tonu koe ki roto i tōku pūmahara. I
whakakōtua au ki koe.

   PUREA NEI E TE HAU 
   
   Na Hirini Melbourne, 1998
   
   Purea nei e te hau
   Horoia e te ua
   Whiti whitia e te rā
   Mahea ake ngā pōraruraru
   Mākere ana ngā here 
   
   E rere wairua e rere
   Ki ngā ao o te rangi
   Whiti whitia e te rā
   Mahea ake ngā pōraruraru
   Mākere ana ngā here

   SCATTERED BY THE WIND 
   
   By Hirini Melbourne, 1998

   Scattered by wind,
   Washed by rain,
   Raised by sun,
   Every qualm is swept aside,
   Cast down all restraint.
   
   Fly, spirit, free from care!
   Soar to heaven's clouds!
   Bathed in brilliance of the sun,
   Every qualm is swept aside,
   Cast down all restraint.
