さむしろに衣かたしきこよひもや恋しき人にあはでのみ寝む
samushiro ni
koromo katashiki
koyoi mo ya
koishiki hito ni
awade nomi nemu | Beneath the flimsy cover
Of a single spread garment
Will I once again, tonight
Without my beloved’s
Company simply sleep? |
The woman
Dwarf Bamboo 小篠
露しげきをざさが原を分けゆけば衣のすそになびくしら玉
tsuyu shigeki
ozasa ga hara o
wakeyukeba
koromo no suso ni
nabiku shiratama | Drenched with dew is
This grove of dwarf bamboo through which
I forge my way, so
My garment’s hems
Trail white gemlets. |
