野

For your sake I went out to the spring fields to gather young herbs, and the snow kept falling on my sleeves.

At first light I took it for the dawn moon — the white snow that has fallen on the village of Yoshino.

Across the autumn field, where the wind keeps blowing on the white dew, unstrung jewels are scattering.

Like bamboo grass on the sparse-reeded moor I hide it, and still — why does my longing for her overflow?

Mount Oe and the road through Ikuno are far. I have never set foot there, nor even seen a letter from Amanohashidate.

Autumn wind off the mountains of Yoshino; the night deepens, the old village is cold, and someone is beating cloth.
