174 Shadowings 



Visiting the honorable temple, when I see the 



water-tank, 



I see little flowers of many colors set all about it, 

 Each one having a different color of its own, 



A different color. 



Visiting the honorable temple, when I see the 



parlor-room, 

 I find many kinds of little birds gathered all 



together, 

 Each one singing a different song of its own, 



A different song. 



Visiting the honorable temple, when I see the 



guest-room, 



There I see the priest, with a lamp beside him, 

 Reading behind a folding-screen oh, how ad 

 mirable it is ! 



How admirable it is ! 



Many kinds of popular songs and especially 

 the class of songs sung at country- dances are 

 composed after a mnemonic plan. The stanzas 

 are usually ten in number ; and the first syllable 

 of each should correspond in sound to the first 

 syllable of the numeral placed before the verse.
