"AULD LANG SYNE."
A Verse of the Old Song Trans
lated Into the Hawaiian Lam
euage.

lated Into the Hawaiian Lam
suase.
The anniversary of Burns natal
day was recently celebrated at Dali
beattie, Scotland. The orator on
the occasion was Mr.. c. H. Ewart,
who is well-known to readers of
this paper. Mr.. Ewart was a resi-
dent here some time ago and he
was SO impressed with the beauties
of the Islands that he never misses
an opportunity to say good word.
The following is brief extract
from his lecture:
Burns fame has been like the
swelling eddy, which rises round
pebble thrown by a child, the
child of nature, into a stream; but
that stream has descended to the
ocean, and become mighty wave,
which has rolled across the Attain
tic and broke in tumultuous sur
ges on the American and Austria
lian shores. This wave has cast its
eddies and ripples around the blue
girdled islands of the Pacific. and
on dipping into the pages of a
Burns Chronicle which he found
lying Oh the chairman's desk the
other night, he found, to his amaze
ment, and perhaps amusement.
that 'Auld Lang Syne' had been
translated into the Hawaiian Ian
guage. Mr.. w. F. Wilson, an en-
thusiastic Scot resident in Homo
lulu, who was in his native land a
few months ago, and who honored
Mr.. Ewart with a visit in the end
of October last, was the translator.
In giving his translation in the
Paradise of the Pacific for Decem-
Der, 1891, he says This is the
only attempt, so far as am aware.
to give in Hawaiian any of Burns
songs. Mr.. Ewart mentioned that
it is next to impossible to translate
into Hawaiian, and make the verses
either rhyme, or have the same
of feet in each line The
paragraph is given in the Chronicle,
and the editor gives the Hawaiian
of the chorus, he saws. 'as
an elocutionary and musical nov
slty for the approaching anniver-
;ary. This is how the chorus of
Auld Lang Syne' sounds in the
Hawaiian or Sandwich Island ton
