THE MOTHER AND FERRYMAN
Thee I adore, Eternal Buddha great,
Who still the same, for six-and-thirty times
A million million worlds of Paradise,[70]
For ever in the west dost permeate.
Thee I adore, Eternal Buddha great.
THE MOTHER
Thee I adore, Eternal Buddha great.
CHORUS
I adore thee, O Eternal Buddha.
I adore thee, O Eternal Buddha.
I adore thee, O Eternal Buddha.
THE MOTHER
And to my prayer the river Sumida
Adds its loud voice the breeze.
CHORUS
