After the death of Sada’ie’s mother, around autumn time he was staying at a temple near her grave and composed this.
まれにくる夜はもかなしき松風をたえずやこけのしたにきくらん
| mare ni kuru yo wa mo kanashiki matsu kaze o taezu ya koke no shita ni kikuran |
Rarely did I come At nights now I sorrowfully Pine trees in the wind Unceasing; with the moss Above, I wonder will I hear it? |
