MYS II: 143

Two poems composed by Naga no imiki Okimaro, grieving at the sight of the bound pine.

磐代の岸の松が枝結びけむ人は帰りてまた見けむかも

ipasiro no
kisi no matu ga e
musubikemu
pito pa kaperite
mata mikemu kamo
On Iwashiro’s
Shore, a pine’s branches
It seems he tied –
I wonder, will he return
And see them once more…
