Source: King's Songs of Hawai`i - A waltz composed by Princess Theresa Owana La`anui Cartwright Wilcox, a true princess of Hawai`i. Love is expressed in nature’s wonder by the fragrance from Ka`ala, the highest mountain on O`ahu, that permeates Kûwaipô. Teased and tantalized by the ever-present showers that sweep across the cliffs, floating to the uplands of Mikilua. Two hearts cherish Hâlona. The heavy fog and warming heat are joined by the fragrance of the night blooming Iapana (Cestrum). . Kûwaipô, Mikilua and Hâlona are land sections in the Schofield -Wai`anae area. Iapana is night blooming Cestrum. Translated by Martha Webb Costa |
