Chapter 2

“Yes! ’tis a very pleasant land,Filled with joys on either hand,Sweeter than aught beneath the sky,Dear island of the dragon-fly!”

“Yes! ’tis a very pleasant land,Filled with joys on either hand,Sweeter than aught beneath the sky,Dear island of the dragon-fly!”

“Yes! ’tis a very pleasant land,Filled with joys on either hand,Sweeter than aught beneath the sky,Dear island of the dragon-fly!”

“Yes! ’tis a very pleasant land,Filled with joys on either hand,Sweeter than aught beneath the sky,Dear island of the dragon-fly!”

“Yes! ’tis a very pleasant land,

Filled with joys on either hand,

Sweeter than aught beneath the sky,

Dear island of the dragon-fly!”

[From an old poem composed by the Mikado Gomei, who died A. D. 641.]
