Love at an ancient estate.
故郷の杉の板やのひまをあらみ行きあはでのみ年のへぬらん
furusato no
sugi no itaya no
hima o arami
yuki’awade nomi
toshi no henuran | This ancient house has
A roof of cedar boards,
With rough gaps between,
Simply not meeting
The years have seemed to pass. |

故郷の池の藤なみたれうゑてむかしわすれぬかたみなるらん
furusato no
ike no fujinami
tare uete
mukashi wasurenu
katami naruran | At this ancient house are
Wisteria waves by the pond—
Who might have planted them, that
Days gone by would be forgotten not
With such a memento there! |
Created with Soan.
'Simply moving and elegant'
