4. "As the sound fades, / the scent of the flowers / comes up - / the evening bell."
5. "The lightning flashes / And slashing through / the darkness, / a night heron's screech."
6. "Where's the moon? / As the temple bell is - / sunk in the sea"
7. "Clouds come from / time to time - / and bring to men / a chance to rest / from looking at the moon."
