GSIS V: 340

Composed on the conception of the autumn wind at a mountain retreat.

山ざとのしづの松がきひまをあらみいたくなふきそこがらしのかぜ

yamazato no
sidu no matugaki
Fima wo arami
itaku na Fuki so
kogarasi no kaze
Around this mountain dwelling
The peasant’s pinewood fence
Has gap aplenty;
Blow not so hard,
O, biting wind!

SZS V: 303

Composed when he presented a hundred poem sequence, during the reign of former Emperor Horikawa.

山ざとはさびしかりけりこがらしのふく夕ぐれのひぐらしのこゑ

yamazato Fa
sabisikarikeri
kogarasi no
Fuku yuFugure no
higurasi no kowe
A mountain retreat is
Lonely, indeed;
The biting wind
Blows of an evening with
The sundown cicadas’ cries.

SZS V: 303

Composed at the time a hundred poem sequence was presented, during the reign of former Emperor Horikawa.

山里は淋しかりけり木枯らしの吹く夕暮の日暮の声

yamazato Fa
sabisikarikeri
kogarasi no
Fuku yuFugure no
Figurasi no kowe
A mountain dwelling
Seems lonely:
When the chill winter wind
Blows on an evening with
The sunset cicadas’ song…

Love 64

Left (Tie).

うつろはむ色をかぎりに三室山時雨もしらぬ世を頼むかな

utsurowamu
iro o kagiri ni
mimuroyama
shigure mo shiranu
yo o tanomu kana
The fading
Hues of our passion our end
Do mark: at Mimuro mountain,
A world ignorant of such showers
Is what I long for.

消えわびぬうつろふ人の秋の色に身をこがらしの杜の下露

kiewabinu
utsurou hito no
aki no iro ni
mi o kogarashi no
mori no
shimotsuyu
Fading and gone am I!
My fickle love,
Sated, in autumn hues
Kogarashi Forest, burning with wind
Fanned fire, and drenched in dew.
