One of Takekuma’s pines had withered.
たけくまのまつも一本かれにけりかぜにかたぶくこゑのさびしさ
takekuma no
matu mo Fito moto
karenikeri
kaze ni katabuku
kowe no sabisisa | At Takekuma
A single pine
Has withered;
Brushed by the breeze
Loneliness is given voice… |
Created with Soan.
憂しと思ふ心に今朝は来つれども黄昏時はむなしからまし
usi to omoFu
kokoro ni kesa Fa

munasikaramasi |
Feeling hopeless,
To my heart has this morning
Come, yet
The hour of dusk is
What I wish were brief… |
Minamoto no Shigeyuki
源重之
水の上の浜名の橋も焼けにけりうち消つ波やより来ざりけむ

Upon the waters
The bridge of Hamana
Has burned;
From the extinguishing waves
Will you come no more! |
