Professor John Moorfield - Te Murumāra

Kei te kōwhatu turua e Murumāra.
E moe i te moenga roa o Hine Huhuritai
Tomokanga ki te pae-kawau o te pitoururangi he paenga purapura tuawhiti
 
Nāhau anō tō huanui ake i pōkai
Kia toi tū te reo taketake
Kia reo Māori a nuipuku rāua ko makiu
Takoto pū i te mōhio, whiua reretia ana ō whakaaweawe ki tēnā moka ki tēnā awaawa ki tēnā kōtihitihi
 
Nā reira, hoki atu rā e te rangatira
Whakarerea iho rā nga ahuatanga o tō mate
Hakoa he mate roa, kua mate ururoa
Mutunga iho, he koiora kura he koiora matapopore
