“Long long years,
Yes, endlessly long years,
Being together face to face,
Never asking the moon the time to go.
向かいゐて
千代も八千代も
見てしがな
空行く月の
こと問はずとも”
― Zen Fool Ryokan

“What shall I compare
Your precious letter in early spring to?
All the jewels and gold
Lose their color.
雨が下に
満つる玉より
黄金より
春の初めの
君が音づれ”

“When? When?
How eagerly I've been waiting.
Now that you are here
What more do I want?
いついつと
待ちにし人は
来たりけり
今は会ひ見て
何か思はむ”
