A poem on accumulated sins.
ほのほのみ虚空にみてる阿鼻地獄ゆくへもなしといふもはかなし
| honō nomi kokū ni miteru abijigoku yukue mo nashi to iu mo hakanashi | Flames alone Fill the skies of The lowest hell— No other destination have I, So sad to say… |

恋といへばまづいでたちて春も皆ゆくらむ方も知らずもあるかな
| koi to ieba mazu idetachite haru mo mina yukuramu kata mo shirazu mo aru kana | This thing called love Has gone before, and The spring, too, no one It’s destination Knows at all! |

Right
年毎に花におくるるみにしあれば恋ひせぬ春のなきぞわびしき
| toshi goto ni hana ni okururu mi ni shi areba koisenu haru no naki zo wabishiki | Every single year Missing the blossom Is my sorry self, A springtime with no one to love Is there not, but still sad and lonely am I! |

行く年の行へをとへば世中の人こそひとつまうくべらなれ[i]
| yuku toshi no yukue o toeba yo no naka no hito koso hitotsu mōkuberanari | When, of the departing year’s Destination I enquire, To this mundane world’s Folk, indeed, one more Does it bestow. |
