玉の緒よ たへなばたえね ながらえば しのぶることの よはりもぞする
身に困しめを見勢蔵ハ あけていハねど主の慈悲 土扉も重き親の恩とハ知りながら 凡悩の闇路にまよふ大晦日 窓にあやなき二人が顔ハ しのびかねたる泪ぞはかなき

NOTES:
[1] Much of Bigelow's collection of Asian art was formed during his residence in Japan between 1882 and 1889, although he also made acquisitions in Europe and the United States. Bigelow deposited many of these objects at the MFA in 1890 before donating them to the Museum's collection at later dates.
