神南備のもりによをへて鳴く鹿はすぎゆく秋ををしみとめなん
kamunabi no
mori ni yo o hete
naku shika wa
sugiyuku aki o
oshimi tomenan | In sacred
Forests spending his nights
The belling stag
The passing autumn,
Regretfully, does seem to stay! |

こゑたててなくしかばかりをしめどもすぎゆく秋はとまらざらまし
koe tatete
naku shika bakari
oshimedomo
sugiyuku aki wa
tomarazaramashi | Belling out
The crying stag is, simply,
Filled with regret, yet
Autumn, passing by,
I would not have linger on! |

As a poem on willows.
春くれば猶色まさる山しろのときはの杜の青柳のいと
haru kureba
nao iro masaru
yamashiro no
tokiwa no mori no
aoyagi no ito | Spring has come, and
Still their hues are beyond fine:
In Yamashiro’s
Evergreen forests—
Pale green threads of willow. |
Created with Soan.
Composed on the conception of hidden love.
ものをこそしのべばいはねいはしろのもりにのみもるわがなみだかな
mono wo koso
sinobeba iFane
iFasiro no
mori ni nomi moru
wa ga namida kana | Everything, indeed,
I have concealed, so I say nothing, and
In Iwashiro’s
Forests, alone do drip
My tears. |
