On the other side, written in Samoan and surrounded by carvings of
thistles, his native flowers, and the hibiscus flowers, emblem of the
South, are the words from the Bible:

"Whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge;
thy people shall be my people; and thy God my God; where thou diest
will I die, and there will I be buried."

The Samoan chiefs have forbidden the use of firearms upon Vaea hillside,
"that the birds may live there undisturbed, and raise above his grave
the songs he loved so well."

"Tusitala, the lover of children, the teller of tales,
Giver of counsels and dreams, a wonder, a world's delight,
Looks o'er the labours of men in the plain and the hills; and the sails
Pass and repass on the sea that he loved, in the day and the night."

--ANDREW LANG.
