The Ink Dark Moon: Love Poems, Women of the Ancient Court of Japan by Ono no Komachi
The colour of this flower
Fana no iro Fa
uturi ni keri na
itadura ni
waga mi yo ni Furu
nagame sesi ma ni


The colour of this flower
Has already faded away,
While in idle thoughts
My life goes by,
As I watch the long rains fall.
