The torches that burn for Kane.
Folk songs
By Emerson, Nathaniel Bright
Ghostly and drear the walls of Waipio
10 At the endless blasts of Kiha-pú.
The king’s awa fails to console him;
’Tis the all-night conching of Kiha-pú.
Broken his sleep the whole winter;
Downcast and sad, sad and downcast,
15 At loss to find a brave hunter
Artist: Emerson, Nathaniel Bright
Year: 1850
