The Autumn Wind Poem by Ono no Komachi

The Autumn Wind

Rating: 5.0


The autumn wind (In his ennui he blew cold)
Across the rice ears, (On our love)
So sad;
Empty of grain (My heart desolate)
Are they left.

understand that this waka was not easy to translate.. probably 'cause she used a lot of kakekotoba [: pivot word]
