むさしのにいろやかよへるふぢのはなわかむらさきにそめてみゆらむ

musashino ni
iro ya kayoeru
fuji no hana
wakamurasaki ni
somete miyuramu
On Musashi Plain
Are their colours blending?
The wisteria blossom has
The gromwell with violet
Dyed, it seems…

あかずしてすぎゆくはるをよぶこどりよびかへしつときてもつげなむ

yobikaeshitsu to
kite mo tsugenamu
Unsated by
The passage of spring,
The songbird
Has called it back—that
Is what I would have him announce!

SKKS IV: 422

On the moon passing over the plain, when he presented a fifty poem sequence.

行く末は空もひとつの武蔵野に草の原より出づる月影

yukusue wa
sora mo hitotsu no
musashino ni
kusa no hara yori
izuru tsukikage
Its destination:
The skies, one with
Musashi Plain, where
From among the fields of grass
Emerges moonlight.
