From among my autumn poems
玉だれのこすのひまもる秋風はいもこひしらに身にぞしみける
tamadare no
kosu no hima moru
akikaze wa
imo koishira ni
mi ni zo shimikeru | Through my blinds’
Gaps damply drifts
The autumn breeze, making
My love for my darling girl
Pierce my flesh more deeply… |
Composed on the moon.
玉垂之 小簾之間通 独居而 見験無 暮月夜鴨
たまだれの をすのまとほし ひとりゐて みるしるしなき ゆふづくよかも
tamadare no
wosu no matoposi
pitori wite
miru sirusinaki
yupudukuyo kamo | Hung with jewels
The blinds’ gaps reveal
Me sitting here alone
How pointless to be gazing out
At the rising moon tonight! |
