Composed on Mount Fuji, when he went into the Eastlands on a pilgrimage.
風になびくふじのけぶりのそらにきえてゆくゑもしらぬわが思哉
kaze ni nabiku fuji no keburi no sora ni kiete yukue mo shiranu wa ga omoi kana |
Streaming in the wind The smoke from Fuji Vanishes in the sky; I know not where These thoughts of mine go, either. |
The Monk Saigyō
