Poetry: Work in Progress...

​

A Red Breasted Robin

​

A Red Breast Robin

Does sing out her name

Te Ao Ngahoro

As she rises to the flame

And calls...

​

Chorus

...Weave away weaver,

Weave away{x2}

​

Patterns above me

Weave their spirals down

Back to the day

Rangiwewehi came to town

 

Look above me

Look beneath, my sweet

As Tama Te Kapua rises 

To his feet

 

..And calls his Red Breasted Robin 

To sing...

Weave away weaver,

Weave away

​

Look around me 

Look inside to see

Tawakaheimoa rises high

To greet
