  A spring morning
A     I awake light-hearted this morning of spring, Everywhere round me the singing of birds-But now I remember the night, the storm, And I wonder how many blossoms¹ were broken.
                                                                (by Meng Haoran )

B     Hungrily the cat consumes² the fish;
        Hungrily I close my eyes and make a wish;
        Hungrily the boy runs to the road's end;
        Hungrily the driver takes the next bend.
        Hungrily the young man loves life at sea;
        Hungrily the beautiful girl looks at me;
        Hungrily the seal dives down into the deep;
        Hungrily I fall into bed and sleep.

C     If you were the only girl in the world
        and I were the only boy!
        Nothing else would matter in the world today
        we could go on loving in the same old way!
        A garden of Eden just made for two
        with nothing to mar³ our joy
         I would say such wonderful things to you
        there would be such wonderful things to do
        If you were the only girl in the world
        and I were the only boy!
                                                (by Clifford Grey)

 D         Sunshine
        Lovely, cheerful
   Warming, welcoming, calming
        I sing with you
          Brightness
E      First autumn morning:
        The mirror I stare into
        Shows my father's face.
                   (by Kijo Murakami)
