By Emerson, Nathaniel Bright
35 My heart leaps up in great cheer;
The bay of the dog greets my ear,
It reaches East Cape by the sea,
Where Puna gave refuge to thee,
Till came the king’s herald, hot-foot,
40 And quaffed the awa’s tree-grown root.
A-o-a, a-o-a, he, he, hene!
Artist: Emerson, Nathaniel Bright
Year: 1850
