Love and Waterfalls
山河の滝ははやくもおもほえず恋の涙ぞおちまさりける
yamakawa no taki wa hayaku mo omohoezu koi no namida zo ochimasarikeru | A mountain river’s Waterfall flows swift Wouldn’t you think, but The tears of my love Faster fall by far. |
Kinoshita Takafumi
かりのみとうはのそらなるなみだこそあきのたもとのつゆとおくらめ
kari nomi to uwa no sora naru namida koso aki no tamoto no tsuyu to okurame | The geese simply from The skies above Do drop their tears; It is in autumn that my sleeves Seem to gather dewdrops. |

山がはのたきつせしばしよどまなむあきのもみぢのいろとめて見む
yamagawa no takitsuse shibashi yodomanamu aki no momiji no iro tomete mimu | The mountain river’s Rapids seem briefly Stilled; Autumn’s scarlet leaves’ Hues have halted it, I see. |
