To someone who passed me by without meeting.
神の杜齋垣の杣にあらねどもいたづらになるくれをいかにせん
| kami no mori igaki no soma ni aranedomo itadura ni naru kure wo ika ni sen |
The sacred forest precincts, Walled about with wood, Never to be among their number, In idleness to no effect One evening, what is a plank to do? |
