Famous is the beauty of the rose Famous nesting place of the birds Making love willingly Always alluring to the eye Imposing is your beauty rose blossom Beauty seen by Kahuwailana Meeting with Heakekoa Engulfed in the nectar of love Tell the story Memory of love's sweetness embraced by the sea spray |
