When Spring Arrives in the Old Year 旧年立春

年すぐる山べなこめそ朝がすみさこそは春と友にたつとも

toshi suguru
yamabe na kome so
asagasumi
sa koso wa haru to
tomo ni tatsu tomo
The year’s passage shows
On the mountain slopes – enfold them not,
O, morning haze!
For truly, it is as spring’s
Companion that you should rise…

Akinaka

MYS II: 88

[One of] Four poems composed by the Empress Iwanohime, when thinking fondly of the Emperor [Nintoku].

秋の田の穂の上に霧らふ朝霞いつへの方に我が恋やまむ

aki no ta no
po no pe ni kirapu
asagasumi
idupe no kata ni
wa ga kopiyamamu
In the autumn fields
Above the ears of rice hangs
The morning haze;
Nowhere does
My love end.

Empress Iwanohime
磐姫皇后
