This would mean the composition date, if not cited, is at or before 1888.
These midi files include ACHS's original accompaniment and choral
arrangements, resplendent in their 19th century musical mannerisms. The melody line
of these soundclips reflects current orthographic/diphthong
practice. All these songs are public domain, but these midi files, in
particular, require permission for use beyond the home & classroom.

* Tom Lindsey (in KBMH,
Lindsay) was a hapa-haole with a sweetheart. One morning the both of them made a
honeysuckle lei and then he went to work. He returned unexpectedly and saw a
horse in front of his sweetheart's house. When he looked in he saw his beloved
wife in the arms of his uncle. Heartbroken, he left the lei on the door knob. He
composed this song in grief and died a few months later (Told by Mrs. Pukui to
Noe Mahoe)

< Song text appears in Keakaokalani & J.M. Brights, eds.,
Ka hoonananea o na
home Hawaii: Ka buke o na mele Hawaii no ka pono a me ka pomaikai o na home
Hawaii, na ananina hoolaulea a me na aha mele hoonananea,
(KBLM) Honolulu: Hale Pai Mahu P.C. Advertiser, 1888. (Info from appendix II in KBMH,
compiled by Dr. Amy K. Stillman, 1999)
Some other observations: Many syntactical "anomalies" in KBMH
(1897) seem "corrected " in ACHS, (1899) despite ACHS's many typos, added
hyphens, and numerous notational / harmonic errors. The English song-texts in
ACHS seem to reflect the sense of the Hawaiian.
