O little Yo San
With your face of tan,
And your dear little eyes peeping over your fan,
What a roguish way,
On this golden day,
You have found with my heart, with my poor heart to play
In the cherry-boughs sing
All the birds of Spring,
And the little brooks tinkle as they ripple and ring ;
But match, if you can,
In the land of Japan,
The music of the laughter of my little Yo San !
