Fukinishi hi yori,
Amanogawa
Kawasé ni dédachi;—
Matsu to tsugé koso!
[On the very day that the autumn-wind began to blow, I set out for the shallows of the River of Heaven;—I pray you, tell my lord that I am waiting here still!]
Tanabata no
Funanori surashi,—
Maso-kagami,
Kiyoki tsuki-yo ni
Kumo tachi-wataru.
