Kinkai wakashū 394

An old man feeling the sadness of the twilight of the year[i]

しらがといひおいぬるけにやことしあれば年のはやくもおもほゆるかな

shiraga to ii
oinuru ke ni ya
koto shi areba
toshi no hayaku mo
omohoyuru kana
Is it my hair so white
That means I have grown old?
But now in everything
That the years go by so fast,
I feel!
