| If e'en that grot where thou didst seek release |
|
|
| Who was it taught the maple-leaves |
|
|
| How carefully begin to bud |
|
|
| On Matsushima's thousand isles |
|
|
| Song. Composed by the Commander-in-Chief on Beholding the Mountains, When the Mikado Made a Progress to the District of Aya in the Province of Sanuki |
|
|
| Spring, spring has come, while yet the landscape bears |
|
|
| A Youth once lov'd me, and his love I spurn'd |
|
|
| For all my contriving, here I am again at the end of the year with my strip of matting |
|
|
| He was the cuckoo. Say what other |
|
|
| Where shine the stars that wend along |
|
