Pokarekare Ana was originally written in 1912 as a bid to win the Heart of Paraire Henare Tomoana's beloved, Kuini Ripeka Ryland. Paraire had fallen in love with Kuini but her family refused to give their blessing to a marriage between the two. A lovelorn Paraire composed Pokarekare Ana in which he vowed his eternal love. He declared this passion by singing Pokarekare Ana at Te Poho-o-Rawiri Marae to Kuini in front of her Ngati Porou elders. The family was won over by his convincing performance and granted him their daughter's hand.
How placid are the ripples of restless Waiapu,
Dear they know of your returning,
from far across the sea.
Dear Heart of mine,
I'll wait for thee,
My love is thine alone,
to eternity.

This is footage from The Australian Voices' concert at St Stephani, Bremen in December, 2010.
Gowned as a bride thou art
Caught with the glow,
Giving with ruddy Heart
Blood to the snow.
Thou has come in to make
Dreams to the boy,
Lightly the girl will take
Omens of joy.
Thou hast the taste of all
SweetHearts in Spring,
Thou hast come out to call
Colours to sing.
Low rides the sun above,
Meek as the moon:
Thou art as moist in love
As a love tune.
Still as a bride thou art
In a bride's gown:
See! an uplifted Heart
Beats in a clown.
