Love on seeing again.
思ひのみしるべとならばたのめただ哀あやなきけふのながめも

shirube to naraba
tanome tada
aware ayanaki
kyō no nagame mo | If my passion alone
Led the way to you,
Then ask it!
Pointlessly pitiable,
Staring at nothing today… |
Love on seeing again.
忘られぬ思ひはさしも浅からで浅かの沼の草の名もうし

asaka no numa no
kusa no na mo ushi | I cannot forget
My passion for truly
’Tis not shallow;
In Asaka Marsh,
A weed—to be called so is hard, indeed! |
