おもひやれちかひし夜はのうきはしをにしきたちきてかへる心を
omoiyare
chikaishi yo wa no
ukihashi o
nishiki tachikite
kaeru kokoro o | O, recall to mind
That recent night, when
Upon a floating bridge,
Brocade severed,
You returned—how you felt then… |
Kojijū
Created with Soan.
Love and Trees.
いかなれば朽ちぬる袖ぞ波かかる岩根の松もさてこそはあれ
ika nareba
kuchinuru sode zo
nami kakaru
iwane no matsu mo
sate koso wa are | For some reason
My sleeves have rotted,
Washed by waves
As pines rooted on the rocks –
That is how they are… |
Matsuyoi no kojijū
待宵の小侍従
'Simply moving and elegant'
