Waterfalls 滝
名にたてぬみ山がくれの滝なれどながれはさとの人にしられぬ
na ni tatenu miyamagakure no taki naredo nagare wa sato no hito ni shirarenu | No name adorns These hidden mountain Falls, yet Of their flow are the estate’s Folk all unknowing… |

くる人もなき奥山の滝の糸は水のわくにぞまかせたりける

midu no waku ni zo
makasetarikeru |
No one is there
To reel, deep within the mountains
Threads from off the falls, so
To the spraying waters
Have I left it! |
