Most wonderful when / they scatter --- / The cherry blossoms. / In this floating world, / does anything endure? (Chireba-koso / Itodo sakura wa / Medetakere / Ukiyo ni nani ka / Hisashikarubeki} --- from Tales of Ise, by Narihira

Placido Domingo and Renee Fleming singing "Laisse-moi, laisse-moi contempler ton visage" from Gounod's Faust
From Wikipedia:
Marguerite allows Faust to kiss her (Laisse-moi, laisse-moi contempler ton visage), but then asks him to go away. She sings at her window for his quick return, and Faust, listening, returns to her. Under the watchful eye and malevolent laughter of Méphistophélès, it is clear that Faust's seduction of Marguerite will be successful.
