Plum Blossom

わがやどにふきくるかぜのにほへるはかきねのむめのはなやちるらむ
| wa ga yado ni fukikuru kaze no nioeru wa kakine no mume no hana ya chiruramu | To my house The breeze comes blowing With the scent of The plum by my brushwood fence— Maybe the blossoms are scattering? |

をしむとてをりしばかりをむめのはなそでににほひのたえずまるかな
| oshimu tote orishi bakari o mume no hana sode ni nioi no taezumaru kana | How dear to me, I think, are, Just plucked, These plum blossoms, for Their scent upon my sleeves Will ever cling! |
