"The Hawaiian Romance Of Laieikawai"

I am at Kealohilani, my divine body is
laid aside, only the nature of a taboo chief remains, and I am become a
human being like you.
"After this, hearken, and when the thunder rolls, the rain pours down,
the ocean swells, the land is flooded, the lightning flashes, a mist
overhangs, a rainbow arches, a colored cloud rises on the ocean, for one
month bad weather closes down,[75] when the storm clears, there I am
behind the mountain in the shadow of the dawn.
"Wait here and at daybreak, when I leave the summit of the mountain,
then you shall see me sitting within the sun in the center of its ring
of light, encircled by the rainbow of a chief.
"Still we shall not yet meet; our meeting shall be in the dusk of
evening, when the moon rises on the night of full moon; then I will meet
my wife.
"After our marriage, then I will bring destruction over the earth upon
those who have done you wrong.
"Therefore, take a sign for Laieikawai, a rainbow; thus shall I know my
wife."
These words ended, she returned by the same way that she had climbed up,
and within one month found Kihanuilulumoku and told all briefly, "We are
all right; we have prospered.
