夏木立軒端にしげくなるままにかずそひまさる蝉の諸声
natukodati
nokiba ni sigeku
naru mama ni
kazu soFimasaru
semi no morogowe |
Clustered summer trees
Beneath my eaves grow thickly
And while they do
In numbers most excessive
Do the cicadas chorus. |
Shun’e
俊恵
はるばると門司の関地を隔てすは文見てだにもなぐさめてまし
Farubaru to
mozi no sekiti wo

Fumi mite dani mo
nagusametemasi |
Far distant
The barrier ground at Moji – your words
Stand between us
Though just gazing on your letters
Should bring me respite. |
