かたしきの袖もこほりぬ冬のよの雨ふりすさむあかつきの空
katashiki no
sode mo kōrinu
fuyu no yo no
ame furisusamu
akatsuki no sora | Her single spread
Sleeve, too, has frozen
As on a winter’s night
A sprinkle of rain falls
From the dawning sky. |

A winter poem
かたしきの袖こそ霜にむすびけれまつよ深けぬるうぢのはし姫
katashiki no
sode koso shimo ni
musubikere
matsu yo fukenuru
uji no hashihime | Her single spread
Sleeve with frost
Has grown stiff
Waiting deep into the night,
The princess of Uji Bridge. |
