When Spring Arrives in the Old Year 旧年立春

あは雪もまだふる年にたなびけばころまどはせるかすみとぞみる

awayuki mo
mada furu toshi ni

kasumi to zo miru
Snow spume
Still withing the old year
Does trail across the skies, so
Confused about the season
Do the hazes seem to be!

SKKS I: 10

Composed on the conception of lingering snow, when he presented a hundred poem sequence during the reign of former Emperor Horikawa.

かすがのゝしたもえわたるくさのうへにつれなくみゆる春のあは雪

kasugano no
shitamoewataru
kusa no ue ni
tsurenaku miyuru
haru no awayuki
On the plain at Kasuga
Sprouting freshly everywhere are
Grasses, but atop them
Heartlessly, I see
The foamy snow of spring!
