An excerpt from Brother Riki Smiths letter tohis Sister Gladys when he sent her the poem, which reallyhelps one to hitter appreciate his thoughts and feelings.— Editor.) From the rolling downs of Clevedon, To Ohaus western skies,To the great Pa Porourangi, To where Taranaki lies. King Country land of plenty, The river of great fame,The bounteous plains of Te Arai And Bridge Pas lonely name. Ruahine crowned with purenessAnd Napiers sun-kissed shore, Where blooms the RauaruheTo i he sub-tribes of Wairoa. The lake, whenst from its bosom Supplies her rations freeTo Rakaipakas stronghold And Tanes wharenui. Away from wives and parents and from friends, Each hoping to be back thereWhen all this trouble ends. To know and to lead nobly, That is all I askTill peace unbinds this band of men That will be MY TASK. Te Karere.
