He ala kai olohia,[389] He hiwahiwa na ka la’i luahine, He me’ aloha na’u ka makani hauai-loli,[390] E uwe ana i ke kai pale iliahi. 5 Kauwá ke aloha i na lehua o Kaana.[391] Pomaikai au i kou aloha e noho nei; Ka haluku wale no ia a ka waimaka, Me he makamaka puka a la Ke aloha i ke kanaka, 10 E ho-iloli nei i ku’u nui kino. Mahea hoi au, a? Ma ko oe alo no. [Footnote 389: _Kai olohia_. A calm and tranquil sea. This expression has gained a poetic vogue that almost makes it pass current as a single word, meaning tranquillity, calmness of mind. As thus explained, it is here translated by the expression “heart’s-ease.”] [Footnote 390: _Makani hanai-loli_. A wind so gentle as not to prevent the bêche de mer _loli_ sea-anemones, and other marine slugs from coming out of their holes to feed. A similar figure is used in the next line in the expression _kai pale iliahi_. The thought is that the calmness of the ocean invites one to strip and plunge in for a bath.] [Footnote 391: _Kauwá ke aloha i na lehua o Kaana_. Kaana is said to be a hill on the road from Keaau to Olaa, a spot where travelers were wont to rest and where they not infrequently made up wreaths of the scarlet lehua bloom which there abounded. It took a large number of lehua flowers to suffice for a wreath, and to bind them securely to the fillet that made them a garland was a work demanding not only artistic skill hut time and patience. If a weary traveler, halting at Kaana, employed his time of rest in plaiting flowers into a wreath for some loved one, there would be truth as well as poetry in the saying, “Love slaves for the lehuas of Kaana.”] [Page 208] [Translation.] _Song_ Precious the gift of heart’s-ease, A wreath for the cheerful dame; So dear to my heart is the breeze That murmurs, strip for the ocean. 5 Love slaves for wreaths from Kaana. I’m blest in your love that reigns here; It speaks in the fall of a tear— The choicest thing in one’s life, This love for a man by his wife— 10 It has power to shake the whole frame. Ah, where am I now? Here, face to your face.
