寄りてこそそれかとも見めたそかれにほのぼの見つる花の夕顔
yorite koso
sore ka to mo mime
tasokare ni
Fonobono mitsuru
Fana no yuFugaFo |
Indeed!
I also wonder what I’ve glimpsed
In the twilight
Seen so faintly
Is a moonflower blossom… |
心あてにそれかとぞ見る白露の光そへたる夕顔の花
kokoro ate ni
sore ka to zo miru
siratuyu no
Fikari soFetaru
yuFgaFo no Fana |
I wonder
If I see it true?
Silver dewfall
Brushing light
Upon the moonflower blossom… |
