SPRING
Farewell, Te Pipiwharauroa, farewell! Since your time is near for you to mate. You and the flowers of summer emerge together; you are the markers of the year. The good things emerging in the flowers – the beauty to be seen, the scent to the nose, reminding the heart that, yes, summer is near! It is the same with Te Pipiwharauroa. He makes things known to the ear, penetrating to the heart, things for the spirit to consider. This bird sings beautifully, the publisher of the places and the times.
