A chrysanthemum from Tonase in Ōi. Blended with silver, dropped from a waterfall. Although it falls from a great height, it makes no sound.
滝つ瀬はただ今日ばかり音なせそ菊一花に思ひもぞます
| taki tu se Fa tada keFu bakari oto na se so kiku Fitobana ni omoFi mo zo masu |
O, rushing waters of the cataract Just on this day alone Make no sound! That a single chrysanthemum bloom May completely fill my thoughts. |
