Translation

Composed on the topic of the weir for a seven hundred verse sequence at the palace of Emperor Shirakawa
SSZS 645/647
oh, to have a boat—, / for I hear the sound of waves / and the night is still so dark… / the fishing weirs of Uji

Offered during a hundred verse sequence in the Kōan Era
The Former Prime Minister
SSZS 646/648
everywhere the sounds / echo—against my eaves the rustle / of hearty bamboo / is joined by wind / to a falling midnight hail

Offered during a hundred verse sequence
Tadafusa Shin’nō
SSZS 647/649
fallen leaves on the sloped hills / of Nara—surely they must already have sunk / into a soft decay, / for they make no sound / beneath the downpouring hail

from among a series of winter poems
Former Buddhist Monk of the Right, Unga
SSZS 648/650
my drenched sleeves / are disheveled by hail. I hang them / out before me, / sweeping down the lengths / to find so many shattered gems
