"1998 Hall of Fame Honoree
Famous Songs - Our Advisory Board
honors five traditional Hawaiian songs
The words to this song honoring Lili`uokalani, begin "Profuse bloom growing as a delight". Konia, mother of Pau`ahi Bishop and Lili`u's foster mother, took the words from an ancient chant. Lili`u, thinking that chants were going out of style, asked that music be written. Eliza Holt adapted the music from the tune "Were I with Thee". The song refers to flowers, fruit and grasses in well-known places on O`ahu, and the chorus invites the Queen to "Wear a lei, O Lili`u-lani"."
