Composed when cherry blossom was falling profusely in her garden.
風だにも吹き拂はずば庭櫻ちるともはるのうちはみてまし
| kaze dani mo Fuki FaraFazuba niFazakura tiru tomo Faru no uti Fa mitemasi |
AIf the wind, at least, Does not blow clean My garden cherries, Fall they may, but while Spring Lasts, I would gaze upon them. |
