| Remembering Emperor Tenji |
|
|
| Longing for you, my love |
|
|
| Perhaps because you and I are one |
|
|
| In the field I've roped off |
|
|
| No way of consoling myself for this love |
|
|
| [to his wife, when he fell ill shortly after marrying her] |
|
|
| Don't cut the shrub on Idemi Beach in Sumiyoshi |
|
|
| Don't wilt and brood on things |
|
|
| Upon Excusing Himself from a Banquet |
|
|
| Don't cut the bamboo grass under the elm by the pond |
|
