冬の池の鴨のうはげにおくしものきえて物思ふころにもあるかな
Fuyu no ike no
kamo no uFage ni
oku simo no
kiete mono’omoFu
koro ni mo aru kana | At a pond in winter
Upon the ducks’ down
Falls frost; it
Vanishes and gloom
Takes all my time! |

Mandarin Ducks 鴛鴦
をし鳥もくぐる岩ねのうす氷今朝やうは毛にとぢかさぬらん
oshidori mo
kuguru iwane no
usukōri
kesa ya uwage ni
tojikasanuran | The mandarins do
Dive beneath the ice-film
Round the rocks;
I wonder, will their down this morning
Be clogged with crystal layers? |
