HARUMICHI NO TSURAKI
Yama gawa ni
Kaze no kaketaru
Shigarami wa
Nagare mo aenu
Momiji nari keri.
TSURAKI HARUMICHI
The stormy winds of yesterday
The maple branches shook;
And see! a mass of crimson leaves
Has lodged within that nook,
And choked the mountain brook.
The writer of this verse died in the year 864.
