 1 　 ち らりほらり　昭青の帽霧の間に　見えてはれゆく神宮の朝
　 　

Scattered here and there
Through the mist,
Navy blue caps
Appear, morning
Clears at the shrine.

#1. S3-99B
 
 2 　 二 度までも　クリーニングの帽かむり　はぢらひのなき吾となりけり
　 　 Wearing a cap
That has been
Cleaned twice,
Become I one who is
Not at all self-conscious. 		 #2. S3-99C
Poem in Japanese original of The Light from the East, but not included of English translation (Volume 1, page 151).

藤波に　烏帽子 はれんばかりにて　祭司ら橋にかかるも
　 　 Carrying thoughts only
Of avoiding the hanging
Wisteria with their
Ceremonial headgear,
Worship leaders cross the bridge.		 #3. S3-100A

帽とりて　敬礼 せんとふと気づき　青年服の吾はも微笑む
　 　 Taking off my cap,
Just as I am about to bow,
I suddenly notice, and
In young men’s clothing,
I smile.  		#4, S3-100B
