SZS V: 373

Composed on the conception of falling leaves.

たつた山ふもとの里はとほけれどあらしのつてにもみぢをぞみる

Tatsuta Mountain
From this estate in the foothills
Lies far away, yet
The storm wind’s actions mean
I see scarlet leaves!

Branches, grieve not, for
White snows
As blossom will visit them, and
The sight will never sate.

Upon the village ‘neath the mountains, where
Fallen snow,
Long since, had plum blossom
Made seem to bloom?

A poem composed by the deceased Emperor on the occasion of a visit to the Yoshino Palace.

見吉野乃 山下風之 寒久尓 為當也今夜毛 我獨宿牟

み吉野の山のあらしの寒けくにはたや今夜も我が独り寝む

Though in fair Yoshino
The storm-winds off the mountains
Feel so chill,
Yet again tonight
Will I sleep alone?

Filled full with love
The sky on which I turn my gaze
Is drowned in darkness;
Even the moon from me
Does shy!
