Waiting for a man amidst the snow.

The moon above a ruined hut
浅茅原ぬしなき宿の庭の面にあはれいくよの月かすみけん
asajiwara nushi naki yado no niwa no omo ni aware iku yo no tsuki kasumiken On the cogon grass covered plain,
Moonlit nights.
かれはつるよもぎがそまのにはさえてしもにしもをもそふる月かげ
karehatsuru yomogi ga soma no niwa saete shimo ni shimo o mo souru tsukikage Completely withered

庭草につゆのかずそふ村雨に夜ぶかき虫の声ぞかなしき
niwa kusa ni tsuyu no kazu sou murasame ni yobukaki mushi no koe zo kanashiki Upon my garden’s grasses
Composed on crickets
庭草尓 村雨落而 蟋蟀之 鳴音聞者 秋付尓家里
にはくさに むらさめふりて こほろぎの なくこゑきけば あきづきにけり
nipa kusa ni Upon my garden’s grasses

Composed on fallen blossom.

hana sasou arashi no niwa no yuki narade furiyuku mono wa wagami narikeri Enticing the blossom,
