A man comes and meets a lady at the Purification ceremonies in the Sixth Month:
年中に我なげきどのなりぬれば禊ぐとも世にうせじとぞ思
| tosi naka ni ware nagekido no narinureba misogu tomo yo ni usezi to zo omoFu |
In the middle of the year I many points of grief Do have; I may cleanse them, yet from the world They will not fade, I fear. |
