MYS IV: 492

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
