Remembering Pōua David Ellison
Ko te kawakawa e iri ana i te pare o te whare rūnaka Ko te weruweru taratara kei te tua o Puketeraki Ko Kāti Huirapa e hae kino nei i te mamae, i te tiwhatiwha Ko te pā whakawairua o Huriawa kua riro E David, E Pōua, E taki tonuhia ana mātou Kua wehe atu koe ki tō moeka roa, Ki tō ūkaipō. Haere, haere, e oki atu rā.
