Poem

菊の露 若ゆばかりに 袖触れて

花のあるじに 千代は譲らむ

Kikunotsuyu waka yu bakari ni sode furete/ hana no aruji ni chiyo wa yuzura/ mu

Murasaki Shikibu Diary poem, Modern translation:

Chrysanthemum dew

I brush my sleeve to gain a little youth

But let she who owns the flowers have the thousand years they bring

Tanabata

鳴な虫別るる恋はほしにさへ。 小林一茶

Nakuna mushi wakaruru koi wa hoshi ni sae. Ko-bayashi I-ssa.

(After the death of his wife.)

Cry not insects divided love even stars among. Little-grove One-tea.

(literal translation)

Oh, insects, cease your cries that pierce the heart.

Lovers, even among the stars, must part.

(Translated by Harold Stewart.)

(Harold chose the form of the Heroic couplet when translating Haiku.)

From his, 'A Chime of Windbells'.
