"List, the crickets sing!
Upon the mat of the frost-night,
I, my raiment not yet unbound,
Have to sleep alone."
Gokyokoku Sessho Sakino Dajodaijin.
" 'Tis not the stormy snow
Luring the garden flower,
But what is falling fast
Is nothing but my own self."
Nyudo Sakino Dajodaijin.
"My sleeves are like
The wide sea rocks unseen
Even at the lowest tide. Nobody would know
That their tears never dry."
Nijonoin Sanuki.
