When I had sent a letter to a lady, and she had not replied, I tied a belt in a three-fold loop and sent it to her
尋ばかり離りてまろと丸寢せむその総角のしるしありやと
| Firo bakari sakarite maro to marunesemu sono agemaki no sirusi ari ya to |
Just two hand’s span Apart, with me Won’t you, still clothed, lay down? A three-fold loop, Has this meaning, does it not? |
