Teishi-in ominaeshi uta’awase 23

をみなへしやまののくさとふりしかどさかゆくときもありけるものを

ominaeshi
yamano no kusa to
furishikado
sakayuku toki mo
arikeru mono o
The maidenflowers
With the mountain meadow grasses
Have grown old, yet
A time to flourish
Did they have once…

45[1]

をみなへしさけるやまべのあきかぜはふくゆふかげをたれかかたらむ

ominaeshi
sakeru yamabe no
akikaze wa
fuku yūkage o
tare ka kataramu
A maidenflower
Blooming in a mountain meadow, with
The autumn wind’s
Evening gusts revealed, but
Who is there to tell the tale?
