Hawaii's Legendary Love Story
A
Handsome
Warrior
Named O-hi-a,
Was in love with the
Beautiful maiden named
Le-hu-a, fire goddess
Pe-le, was also in love but,
O-hi-a dared to deny her so
Pe-le changed him into an ugly tree
Pe-le changed him into an ugly tree,
Gnarled and twisted, few branches, few leaves,
Patron goddess, Hi-i-a-ka,
Heard Le-hu-a's mourn and changed
Her into a gorgeous
Flower to grow on
Her O-hi-a
Forever
Being as
One.
