■Reading and Modern Translation■
＜Reading＞
Tsurayuki
Makomo (reeds) cut, Yodo's marsh water, if it rains, it surpasses the usual, my love (Waka number 587)

Sent to someone who was in Yamato
Beyond the interval, Yoshino's mountain cherry blossoms, only heard through others' tales (Waka number 587)

Around March, to the place of someone who was being friendly,
Another person visited
(Hearing that a love letter was sent, sung and sent)

＜Modern Translation＞
Ki no Tsurayuki
The water in the puddles around Yodo increases even more when it rains. My love for you has also been greatly heightened recently. (Waka number 587)

A poem sent to someone who was in Yamato Province
Ki no Tsurayuki
As long as I haven't been to Mt. Yoshino, it can't be helped, but the beauty of the cherry blossoms on that mountain is something I've only heard about through people's stories. (Waka number 588)

Around March, to a woman I was close with, another man visited (Hearing that a love letter was sent, I composed and sent this poem to the woman)
