Four poems from the time Ichihi, Lord Tabe, was appointed to the Dazaifu.
衣手に取りとどこほり泣く子にもまされる我れを置きていかにせむ
körömode ni tori tödököpori naku ko ni mo masareru ware wo okite ika ni semu |
To your sleeve Fast holding A sobbing child Would weep less than I On our parting, what will you do? |
Toneri no Yoshitoshi
