Frogs (蛙)
たかせ舟のぼるほり江の水を浅み草がくれにてかはづなくなり
| takasebune noboru horie no mizu o asami kusagakure nite kawazu nakunari |
Skips Ascend the canal’s Shallow waters; Hidden in the grasses, The frogs are singing. |
Minamoto no Akinaka (1058-1138)
源顕仲
Composed on autumn leaves.
よそに見る峰の紅葉や散りくるとふもとの里は嵐をぞまつ
| yoso ni miru mine no momidi ya tirikuru to Fumoto no sato Fa arasi wo zo matu |
Seen afar Upon the peaks, are the scarlet leaves Scattering down- The houses at the mountain’s foot Await the wild storm winds. |
Director of the Department of Shrines [Minamoto no] Akinaka
