1. In the cherry blossom's shadethere's no such thingas a stranger.
2. before the gate --my walking stick's made a riverof melting snow
3. In this worldWe walk on the roof of hellGazing at flowers
4. Summer night--even the starsare whispering to each other.
5. This dewdrop world Is but a dewdrop worldAnd yet —
6. What a strange thing!to be alivebeneath cherry blossoms.
