Taikenmon’in horikawa-shū 11

咲きにけり苗代水に影見えて田中の里の山吹の花

sakinikeri
naFasiro midu ni
kage miete
tanaka no sato no
yamabuki no Fana
So, they have bloomed;
Among the waters of the seedling beds
Do I see the light;
At the dwelling among the rice-fields
Of the kerria blooms.

さいたづま結ぶをたにもわかずとて角ぐむ野辺に閨は見るへき

saitaduma
musubu wo dani mo
wakazu tote
tunogumu nobe ni
neya Fa mirubeki
In fleeceflower
Even if I am entangled
I’ll not part it, but
Where it grows out upon the fields
Must I find my bed!
