Ise Shū 38

A man comes to a place where the wisteria blooms and catching sight of a lady, sends this in to her:

藤の花けふ見つるより紫も村濃と色ぞ深くなりぬる

Fudi no Fana
keFu mituru yori
murasaki mo
murago to iro zo
Fukakunarinuru
Of wisteria blooms
I caught sight, today, and ever since
As violet
Of the deepest hue, my passion,
Grows ever more profound!
