TSURAKI HARUMICHI
HARUMICHI NO TSURAKI
Yama gawa ni
Kaze no kaketaru
Shigarami wa
Nagare mo aenu
Momiji nari keri.
Kaze no kaketaru
Shigarami wa
Nagare mo aenu
Momiji nari keri.
THE stormy winds of yesterday
The maple branches shook;
And see! a mass of crimson leaves
Has lodged within that nook,
And choked the mountain brook.
The writer of this verse died in the year 864.
