Teishi-in ominaeshi uta’awase 14

せきやまちふみまがひかぞらにむやそのあきのらぬやまべに

osekiyama
michi fumimagai
nakazora ni
hemu ya sono aki no
shiranu yamabe ni
On Oseki Mountain
I wander lost upon the paths;
All uncertain
Will I pass the days of autumn in
Unknown mountain meadows?

27[1]

りもちてしはなゆゑにごりなくまさへまがひみつきにけり

orimochite
mishi hana yue ni
nagori naku
tema sae magai
shimitsukinikeri
A bunch picked in hand,
I gazed at the flowers, and thus
Utterly
Lost track of time,
Completely captivated.
