わが門のいた井のし水冬ふかみ影こそ見えね氷りすらしも
wa ga kado no
itai no shimizu
fuyu fukami
kage koso miene
kōri sura shimo | By my gate
The fresh waters of my board-bound well
Are deep in winter—
No reflection shows at all
How icy they must be! |

The moon by the water
わくらばに行きてもみしかさめがゐのふるきし水にやどる月影
wakuraba ni
yukitemo mishiga
same ga i no
furuki shimizu ni
yadoru tsukikage | Unusually
Should I go, I’d long to see
In Same Well’s
Ancient fresh waters
The moonlight lodging… |
春ふかみ花ちりかかる山の井はふるきし水にかはづなくなり
haru fukami
hana chirikakaru
hana no i wa
haru fukishi mizu ni
kawazu nakunari | Deep in springtime
Petals scatter over
The well among the blossom, where
From spring’s ancient waters
The frogs are crying. |
Created with Soan.
