| A Stalling ox, shuffling, swirls up dust |
|
|
| Like some ailing leaf |
|
|
| Straw mattress: the Bridge Princess of Uji |
|
|
| Like tinkling gems, neither dewdrops nor tears stay |
|
|
| They become fragrant, and the Spring ends |
|
|
| Against the cherries on the hazy hilltop |
|
|
| Loneliness is more intense with frost than with snow |
|
|
| Thinking of the past I wake |
|
|
| Autumn gone, the past distant in the great sky |
|
|
| Look, this must be love that fills the sky! |
