I saw her once and then no moret'was Edens Light on earth a whileShe passed along the meadow floorSpring seemed to smileand then no more
Ah! What avail my magic lore?She shone before mine eyes awhileMy peace is wrecked on Beauty's shore.I saw her once and then no more
Oh might I see, her once againDeath would soon heal this heartNow sad and sore, would beat anewA while and then no more
Neu sio ki ai tuotaha pea 'ikai toe sioKo ia ko e maama 'o 'Iteni 'i MamaniNe 'alu 'i he faliki ngoue 'ui'uiMatamata 'e he ta'u kamata ke malimaliPea 'ikai toe malimali.
'Aue! Ko e ha 'oku 'asi ange 'eku fananga mana?Ne ulo 'ia te 'eku mataLaiki 'eku melino 'i he mataatahi 'o Piutii1Neu sio ki ai tuotaha pea 'ikai toe sio.
'Aue keu lava 'o toe sio ia tuotahaHeheka fakavave 'e he mate 'a e loto niNe loto mamahi mo mamahi leva kae patutu fo'ouSi'isi'i ange pe pea 'ikai toe fai.
