2nd Year of Tempyô-Shôhô [750], Third Month First Day, an evening in springtime: Two poems composed while gazing at the blossoms of the peach and damson trees in my garden.
春の園紅にほふ桃の花下照る道に出で立つ娘子
paru nö sönö kurenawi nipopu momo nö pana sita teru miti ni idetatu wotöme |
A springtime garden Glows scarlet With peach blossom And on the path, lit with colour Appears a maiden. |
