ひくるればひとめのもりにぬるとりのあかつきがたになきつつぞたつ

hi kurureba hitome no mori ni nuru tori no akatsukigata ni nakitsutsu zo tatsu

Since the setting of the sun Avoiding others’ eyes within the forest Slept a bird that At the edge of dawn Sobbing, does depart!

ねをあさみそこをはなるるうきくさのけさのおきにぞながれわびぬる

ne o asami soko o hanaruru ukikusa no kesa no oki ni zo nagare wabinuru

Shallow the roots Separating from the river’s bed, Of the drifting waterweed, This morning rising, Swept away in desolation!
