Methinks from the hedge round the garden.
Mountains and ocean waves around me lie.
Near to the valley stands my humble cot
Ne'er a melon can I eat
Nightingales built the nest
Oft in June or earlier May-tide
Oft in the misty spring.

Ofttimes in far Corea didst thou hear
Oh! he, my prince, that left my side
Oh! that that ancient bridge
O ye steeds the Prince of Mino
Pure is Hatsuse's mountain brook
Sent by the sov'reign lord to sway
Sent by the sov'reign monarch to hold sway
Sev'n are the treasures mortals most do prize
Since the far natal hour of earth and heaven
Since the hour when first begun

So young, so young! he cannot know the way
Spring his gentle beams is flinging

The gulls that twitter on the rush-grown shore
The heav'n and earth they call so great
The long spring day is o'er, and dark despond
There on the border, where the land of Kahi
The year has come, the year has gone again
They tell me that the fisher-girls.

Thou wast my child, and to my heart more dear
Till the thread of life is broken

When winter turns to spring (p. 86)
When winter turns to spring (p. 87)
Where in spring the sweetest flowers
Where in the far-off Eastern land.
Where many an eagle builds her nest
While other women's husbands ride
Yamato's land, that still with pow'r imperial
Yes! 'twas the hour when all

N.B.-The references to the originals of the "Odes Ancient and Modern" are given in the text. The Japanese names of the four lyric dramas there translated are "Ha-goromo," Setsu-shiyau-seki," "Kañtamu," and Mañjiyuu," by which they will easily be found in any complete edition. The names of the writers of these plays are not to be ascertained, owing to a peculiar Japanese custom of attributing to the head of the clan of lyric actors at any given time, the authorship of all such pieces as came out under his auspices.
