Wisteria Blossom

Left (Win)

おそくさくふぢのはなゆゑいつしかとわれさへまつにかかりぬるかな

osoku saku
fuji no hana yue
itsushika to
ware sae matsu ni
kakarinuru kana
Late to bloom are
The wisteria flowers, so
Eagerly
Have I awaited for them to
Have dangled down!

19[i]

Right

ちることもうつるもしらじのどかなるまつにかかれるむらさきのふぢ

chiru koto mo
utsuru mo shiraji
nodoka naru
matsu ni kakareru
murasaki no fuji
That t’will scatter and
Fade, both, unknowing,
Gently
From the pines hanging is
The violet wisteria…
