Pehea e hoʻohuli ʻia ai nā hūnā i nā pule

ʻEslelo ʻo St. John of the Cross e hana maalea

e hoʻolilo i nā mea hoʻohuli i loko o ka pule.

Keʻike ʻoe iā ʻoe iho e hoʻoluhi ʻia ʻoiai ʻoe iho, mai lawe maikaʻi loa ...

he hōʻailona hou aʻe kēia o kāu haʻaheo

ʻo wai e makemake i kāu pule e hemolele mau.

Ma kahi o, e hoʻohana i ka hoʻoluhi e haʻi aku i ka Haku.

"ʻIke ʻoe i ka liʻiliʻi a me ka nāwaliwali o wau a no laila makemake maoli i kāu aloha".

A me kahi naʻau hoʻohaʻahaʻa a ʻoi aku ka paʻa a me ka hilinaʻi

hoʻomau i kāu pule. Manaʻo ʻoe e aloha ʻia e like me ʻoe,

me kou ʻilihune a me kou lawehala.

ʻO kēia wale nō ka lokomaikaʻi āu e pono ai: e aloha i ke aloha.

E ʻike ʻoe i ka ikaika e aloha hou aku iā ʻoe iho,

kūlana kūpono e aloha maoli aku ai hoʻi i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe.

E aloha aku ana i ka Haku a e lilo nā kaikunāne nou

hauʻoli pono o ke aloha āu e lawe ai me ka manuahi a me kāna aloha.
