Winter 49

Left (Tie).

神さびていはふ御室の年ふりて猶ゆふかくる松の白雪

kamusabite
iwau mimuro no
toshi furite
nao yū kakuru
matsu no shirayuki
Upon the hallowed,
Celebrated shrine
Year piles on year;
Even now sacred cords hang,
Like snow upon the pines.

ながめやる衣手さむく降雪にゆふやみしらぬ山の端の月

nagameyaru
koromode samuku
furu yuki ni
yūyami shiranu
yama no ha no tsuki
Gazing into space
My sleeves grow chill
With fallen snow;
The dark of night is all unknown,
The moon on the distant mountains’ edge.
