He wā hirahira tēnei o te tau.
Ko te wā i rangona ai te mahana
o te hau marangai, i kitea ai te marama piko
i te rangi pūhaka o te pō.
Tokowhitu ngā kōtiro, whānau kotahi, i hanga
manu tukutuku, hei whakanui i te Tau Hou.
Ko ngā whatu, o ngā manu, he anga.
Heoi anō, i kahakina e te hau marangai
ngā manu nei.
Kua tae mai a Matariki.
Nā Calico McClintock, Nā Dominique Ford ngā pikitia, Nā Ngaere Roberts i whakamāori
