[Sweetheart and sweetheart, husband and wife]
[The figures of Heroes by history outlined]
[He who worships Success]
[Honour and Fortune never sought thee out]
[Each thinks himself exceptional]
[The imperial essence, the transcendent dower]
[“How can it surely be known]
[The Age of Suicide draws near]
[Religion dead]
[The weak, all-powerful force, now in our hand]
[The Children of the Land]

Blackberries
[The Wisest Living Mortal—Oh]
The
Wisest Living Mortal—Oh
If one ten-thousandth part he knew
Of what our Teachers claim to know,
And gave us tidings true,
From east and west and north and south
How we should swarm to his gold mouth!
