Ā, i tāna wāhanga i te whitu o ngā hīri, kāhore he aha i rangona i te rangi me te mea kotahi te hāwhe hāora.

Whakatangi ana te anahera tuatahi, nā, he whatu tērā, he kāpura, he toto anō hoki i roto, ka pangā ki te whenua. Nā, kua pau i te ahi te wāhi tuatoru o te whenua, kua pau i te ahi te wāhi tuatoru o ngā rākau, ā, pau ake hoki i te ahi ngā tarutaru matomato katoa.

Ā, i kite ahau, i rongo hoki i tētahi ēkara e rere ana i waenganui o te rangi, he nui tōna reo ki te mea mai, “Auē, auē, auē, te mate mō te hunga e noho ana i runga i te whenua, i ērā reo o te tētere a ngā anahera tokotoru, meāke nei tangi!”

Ā, ka whakatangi te rua o ngā anahera, nā, me te mea he maunga nui tērā, e kāia ana e te ahi, kua makā ki te moana; ā, ka meinga te wāhi tuatoru o te moana hei toto.

Ā, ka whakatangi te toru o ngā anahera, nā, kua taka iho i te rangi he whetū nui e kā ana, ānō he rama, ā, taka ana ki te wāhi tuatoru o ngā awa, ki ngā puna hoki o ngā wai. Ā, ko te ingoa o te whetū ko Tarukawa; ā, ka meinga te wāhi tuatoru o ngā wai hei taru kawa; ā, he tokomaha ngā tāngata i mate i ngā wai, nō te mea kua kawa.

Ā, ka whakatangi te whā o ngā anahera, nā, kua patua te wāhi tuatoru o te rā, me te wāhi tuatoru o te marama, me te wāhi tuatoru hoki o ngā whetū; kia pōuri ai te wāhi tuatoru o aua mea, kia kore ai e mārama te wāhi tuatoru o te rā, o te pō anō hoki.
