5*-^-<*-.^-^, ^ I QC Embalms the sunset treasures as they fall And melt upon the lake's clear bosom deep, When twilight's tints are stealing over all, And o'er the waters weird-like shadows creep; When all the changeful colours of the eve — Pink, violet, and purple — fade away, With crimson, gold and amber, but to leave The scene enwrapp'd in folds of sombre gre\'. Oh, lovely, lucid lake! how few who know The story that is thine! for few intrude Upon thy stillness; thy sad tale of woe Hath... made thee now a sacred solitude. From Pakeha defiler thou art free — Thy nameless beauties he hath never known; The Maori's mana^ still is over thee: Sweet solitude, he claims thee as his own. But why shouldst thou be Tabu^^ why shouldst thou Hide all thy beauties, all thy splendid charms? Why should the Pakeha, with spade and plough, Not chano^e thv woodlands into smilino- farms . '^ Give up thy secret — say what strange romance Hangs over thee, Waiaronui? Ah! Methinks I see fierce braves, with spears, advance Unto thy peaceful shores from distant Pa.
