Left

篠のはにおく霜よりもひとりぬる我が衣手ぞさえまさりける

sasa no ha ni
oku simo yori mo
hitori nuru
wa ga koromode zo
saemasarikeru
On bamboo grass leaves
Settles frost, but
Sleeping alone,
My sleeves
Are colder still by far.

流れ行く水こほりぬる冬さへや猶うき草の跡はさだめぬ

nagareyuku
mizu kōrinuru
fuyu sae ya
nao ukikusa no
ato wa sadamenu
The flowing
Waters have frozen
With the winter, even
Still the waterweed
Has left no clear trace at all.
