Divine The deity, our Lord, Rules All the land; Hot-springs Are there many here On this isle of mountains Fair Here, near The high peaks of Iyo, At Izaniwa Hill He stood And thought of Poetry Brought forth; Above the boiling waters Gazing on the groves, where The fir trees Have grown thickly; Singing, the birds Call, ever unchanging Down the distant years Blessed, shall be This spot where He has come! |
