| Multiple poems at a time |
Luxuriantly grows the aster-southernwood,
In the midst of that islet.
Since we see our noble lord,
Our hearts are full of joy.
Luxuriantly grows the aster-southernwood,
In the midst of that great height.
We see our noble lord,
And he gives us a hundred sets of cowries.
It floats about, -- the willow boat,
Now sinking, now rising again.
Since we see our noble lord,
Our hearts are at rest.
