GSIS XII: 695

At a time when she was secretly feeling very gloomy, when she was asked why she was so downcast by someone she was close to, who perhaps guessed it was due to love—she thought this in her heart.

もろともにいつかとくべきあふことのかたむすびなるよはのしたひも

morotomo ni
ituka tokubeki
aFu koto no
katamusubi naru
yoFa no sitaFimo
Together
When might we undo the mystery
Of our meeting, and
My half-knotted
Underbelt at midnight?

いつしかもゆきてはやみむあきのののはなのしたひもとけはてぬらん

itsu shika mo
yukite wa yamimu
aki no no no
hana no shitahimo
tokehatenuran
Swiftly
Shall I halt my travels
In an autumn meadow;
A blossom’s underbelt
Seems completely undone.

かりにとやいもはまつらんあきのののはなみるほどはいへぢわすれぬ

kari ni to ya
imo wa matsuran
aki no no no
hana miru hodo wa
ieji wasurenu
Is it but briefly that
My sweetheart should wait?
In an autumn meadow
While gazing at the flowers
The way home I have quite forgot!
