ひさかたの雨も降らぬか蓮葉に溜まれる水の玉に似たる見む

hisakata no
ame mo puranu ka
patisuba ni
tamareru midu no
tama ni nitaru mimu

Is it that from the eternal
Heavens, rain has long not fallen,
That on the lotus leaves
Water rests and
Seems all the more like gemstones?

乙女子が菅田の池の蓮葉は心よげにも花咲きにけり

otomego ga
sugata no ike no
hachisuba wa
kokoroyoge ni mo
hana sakinikeri

In maiden
Form at Sugata Pond
The lotuses
Cheerfully
Have bloomed!
