98. 風(かぜ)そよぐ 楢(なら)の小川(をがは)の 夕暮(ゆふぐれ)は みそぎぞ夏(なつ)の しるしなりける 藤原家隆(ふじわらいえたか) The wind is among the oak trees rustling, The dusk at the Mitarashi River Makes you feel like autumn is arriving. The purification ritual, however, Indicates it is still in late summer. By Ietaka Fujiwara Translated by Kota Nakako

97. 来(こ)ぬ人(ひと)を まつほの浦の 夕(ゆふ)なぎに 焼(や)くや藻塩(もしほ)の 身(み)もこがれつつ 藤原定家(ふじわらさだいえ) I have been yearning for my lover Who hasn’t come, unconcerned, No matter how long I wait for him, Burning with love, like the salt seaweed grilled, During evening calm at Mastuho Bay, subsided. By Sadaie Fujiwara Translated by Kota Nakako

94. み吉野(よしの)の 山の秋風 さ夜(よ)ふけて ふるさと寒く 衣(ころも)うるなり 藤原雅経(ふじわらまさつね) The autumn wind blows coldly, At Mt. Yoshino at night advanced, Where once old capital existed flourishigly. The sound of hitting clothes are echoed, And in the cold air clearly heard. By Masatsune Fujiwara Translated by Kota Nakako
