駒並めていざ見にゆかむ古里は雪とのみこそ花はちるらめ

Line up our mounts, and
Let’s go to see
An ancient estate with
A blizzard of
Blossom, scattered all around!

Love and Horse Hair.

隙もあらばをぐろに立てる青鷺のこまごまとこそ言はまほしけれ

Were there but space,
As perching on the paddy-ridges
Are the grey herons close
As the mounts ahead, in such detail
Would I tell you of my love.

Love on Sight

競ひつる尾斑の駒の待つ立ちてかつ見る人も恋しかりけり

The racing
Motley mounts
Await and depart;
Someone seen but once before
Is dear, indeed!

Summer Grasses (夏草)

みわたせばむかひのをかの夏草をたがかふ駒のためにかるらん

When I gaze across
The distant hills,
The summer grass:
For whose mounts
Will it be reaped, I wonder?
