Description of seasons:

 1st Movement: Summer

 Southern wind blows the wild grass off the road

 An old house sank into slumber beside a tree

 An ice-bar selling

 Girl sits on a bamboo chair

 Listening to the crickets

 2nd Movement: Autumn

 Returning from a mountain hike with

 A lonely wild flower, that recaptures

 A song collected in childhood, made me

 Gaze backward and listen

 To the decayed wilderness

 An intense shrill tails after tenderness

 Tramples into the heart

 Abruptly

 3rd Movement: Winter

 In the wind

 Withered leaves tremble with men

 The afterglow of Mt. Datum

 Cooled, and hardened into a

 Sickle that slashes across the

 Fading coastline

 Leaves behind

 A single

 Darkened homeward road

 4th Movement: Spring

 Skipping, skipping

 Children's dancing steps follow the swinging

 Rhythms of cherry flowers

 Naughty with childish sound

 The sky is running, like

 Dreams
