Egyō hōshi-shū 112

When various people went to view the scarlet leaves by the Ōi River in the Tenth Month.

大井河かはべのもみぢちらぬまはとなせのきしにながゐしぬべし

ōigawa
kawabe no momiji
chiranu ma wa
tonase no kishi ni
nagainubeshi
On the Ōi River’s
Riverside the scarlet leaves
Have yet to scatter, so
At Tonase’s bank
I would linger long.
A kuzushiji version of the poem's text.
Created with Soan.

MYS III: 440

[One of] Four poems composed by the Riverside Courtier on seeing the coffin of a lady in the pine groves of Himeshima in Wadō 4 [712].

妹もわれも清の河の川岸の妹が悔ゆべき心は持たじ

imo mo ware mo
kiyomi no kapa no
kapagisi no
imo ga kuyubeki
kokoro pa matazi
Both my darling and I, too,
On Kiyomi River
Bank:
For my darling’s regretful
Heart, I failed to wait, alas…

Inconstant is
The gusting wind, so
By the pondwater’s
Bank and all along it
Break wisteria waves…

藤なみのかからぬ岸のなければやこぎくる舟のよるひまのなき

Untouched by wisteria waves
Such a bank
Is there not one?
Come rowing, the boats
Have not a moment to make shore.

SIS VIII: 455

During the same reign, when there was an imperial excursion and His Majesty commanded the composition of poems.

大井河川辺の松に事問はむかかる御幸やありし昔も

oFowigawa
kaFabe no matu ni
koto toFamu
kakaru miyuki ya
arisi mukasi mo
At Ōigawa:
O, pine trees on the bank
I would ask you something:
Was there ever such an imperial visit
In the days of long ago?
