Matariki Choral Poem
When Matariki Rises
ALL: In the hush of winter skies,\nMatariki softly rise.\n\nGROUP 1: We remember those now gone,\nGROUP 2: Hold their stories, carry on.\n\nALL: Gather close and share our kai,\nTell our hopes beneath the sky.\n\nGROUP 1: Thank the earth for what it grows,\nGROUP 2: Plant the seeds that each of us sows.\n\nALL: Past and present, plans begun—\nMatariki, welcome, everyone!\n\nPerformance idea: clap gently on the first beat of each line. Let the final line grow warm and strong.
