Kinkai wakashū 392

Composed on the conception of the rite of the recitation of the Buddhas’ names.

身につもるつみやいかなるつみならむけふふる雪とともにけななん

mi ni tsumoru
tsumi ya ikanaru
tsumi naramu
kyō furu yuki to
tomo ni kenanan
Piling up upon me are
My sins, whatever
Sins they are;
Today with the falling snow
I would they vanish away!
