秋山の したへる妹 なよ竹の
とをよる子らは いかさまに
思ひ居れか 栲縄の 長き命を
露こそば 朝に置きて 夕には
消ゆと言え 露こそば
夕に立ちて 朝には 失すと言へ
梓弓 音聞くわれも おほに見し
事悔しきを 敷栲の 手枕まきて
剣大刀 身に副へ寝けむ
若草の その夫の子は さぶしみか
思ひて寝くらむ 悔しみか
思ひ恋ふらむ 過ぎにし子らが
朝露のこと 夕霧のこと |

Maiden beautiful as the automn mountains, and lithe as softbanboo,what
could have been in her mind? Long life she had cut off. Only if it were
dew, then we could say that,falling on the leaves in the morning ,it vanishes
by evening. Only if it were mist, then we could say that, rising in the
evening, it is lost by morning. But even I, eho heard of her death, regret,
I saw her only faintly. How much her husband wold grieve pver her death,
because they pilloewd each other in their arms! |
