Te Aroha
Te Aroha is a rural town in the Waikato region of New Zealand with a population of 3,906 people in the 2013 census, an increase of 138 people since 2006. It is 53 km northeast of Hamilton and 50 km south of Thames. It sits at the foot of 952-metre Mount Te Aroha, the highest point in the Kaimai Range.
History
The name Te Aroha comes from the Māori name of Mount Te Aroha. In one version, Rāhiri, the eponymous ancestor of Ngāti Rāhiri Tumutumu, climbed the mountain and saw his homeland in the distance and felt a sense of love (aroha) for it. The name is often rendered in English as "place of love".
On 17 February 1985 Te Aroha experienced a severe flash flood that washed boulders, mud, and trees through the town. Most shops and more than 50 homes were damaged, resulting in the death of three people.
Geography
The Waihou River runs through Te Aroha. Close by to the east is the base of the Kaimai Range, and the town is overlooked by the 952-metre Mount Te Aroha. To the north of the town is the low-lying, swampy land of the Hauraki Plains. Thermal and mineral springs are both found close to the centre of the town, as is the world's only hot soda water geyser.

Te Aroha (New Zealand electorate)
Te Aroha was a parliamentary electorate in the Waikato region of New Zealand from 1890 to 1893. The electorate was represented by two Members of Parliament.
Population centres
In December 1887, the House of Representatives voted to reduce its membership from general electorates from 91 to 70. The 1890 electoral redistribution used the same 1886 census data used for the 1887 electoral redistribution. In addition, three-member electorates were introduced in the four main centres. This resulted in a major restructuring of electorates, and Te Aroha was one of four electorates to be first created for the 1890 election.
The electorate was based on the town of Te Aroha. In the 1890 elections, there were 22 polling booths in the electorate covering a large part of the eastern Waikato and the Coromandel.
History
The electorate was first formed for the 11th New Zealand Parliament in 1890. William Shepherd Allen and William Fraser contested the 1890 election. Votes for Allen and Fraser were 786 and 609 respectively; a majority of 177 votes for Allen, who was declared elected. After a petition by Fraser was accepted, the election was declared void on 3 April 1891.

Die Ruhe
by: PurWenn der Morgen still und heimlich
in das Zimmer kriecht
und ich beim ersten Augenaufschlag
deine Nähe rieche
wenn das Tageslicht allmählich
jeden Traum vertreibt
und der Kopf kreist um
Phantasie und Wirklichkeit
dann schau' ich dir
Prinzessin
beim Schalfen zu.
Du bist so wunderschön.
Prinzessin
laß die Augen zu
ich will ganz tief in dich sehen
wie du zuckst und wie dich schaudert
wie du friedlich schläfst
ich schleich' mich in den Traum zu dir
ich liebe dich
ich mag dich schlafen sehen.
Dein Gesicht fängt Zug um Zug
mir zu erzählen an
manches Neuentdeckte
vieles lieb vertraut
bekannt
da sind Bilder
die verschüttet
fast verloren waren
und Momente
so voll Leben
die die Zeit uns nahm
das alles ist in dir
Prinzessin
schlaf ganz ruhig.
Du bist so wunderschön.
Prinzessin
laß die Augen zu
ich will ganz tief in dich sehen
wie du zuckst und wie dich schaudert
wie du friedlich schläfst
ich schleich' mich in den Traum zu dir
ich liebe dich
ich mag dich schlafen sehen.
