KYS IV: 304

Composed on the conception of the very end of the year.

なにごとをまつとはなしにあけくれてことしもけふに成りにけるかな

nani goto wo
matu to Fa nasi ni
akekurete
kotosi mo keFu ni
narinikeru kana
What have I
To wait for? Nothing! So
I have passed the days and nights
This year and now today
Has arrived!

Middle Counsellor Kunizane
