| 29. Japanesque |
| |
| OH, where the white quince blossom swings | |
| I love to take my Japan ease! | |
| I love the maid Anise who clings | |
| So lightly on my Japan knees; | |
| I love the little song she sings, | 5 |
| The little love-song Japanese. | |
| I almost love the lute's tink-tunkle | |
| Played by that charming Jap Anise | |
| For am I not her old Jap uncle? | |
| And is she not my Japan niece? | 10 |
