Translation

KKS II: 117 Visiting a mountain temple. last night while I slept / here in the vernal mountains / I found that in my / dreams as in my waving there / were fading falling petals
KKS II: 118 From the poetry contest held at the residence of the Consort in the Kanpyō era. if the blowing winds / and effervescent streams were / gone then I’d never / see the hidden mountain blooms / come drifting before my eyes
KKS II: 119 sent to some women who had paused to admire the wisteria at Kazan on their way back from Shiga. [another place they / visited then turned toward home— / oh wisteria / vines intertwine and capture / them though fragile branches break (Rodd 2017, pp. 81-82)

KKS II: 117 Composed when he was visiting a mountain temple. Even in my dreams, / blossoms came fluttering down / on the night I spent / sleeping in borrrowed quarters / on a hillside in springtime.
KKS II: 118 A poem from the Empress's Contest during the reign of the Kanpō Emperor [Uda]. Were there no blowing / breezes or valley waters, / might we ever see / flowers that blossom in secret / far back in the trackless hills?
KKS II: 119 Sent to some ladies who had returned to the capital after stopping under the Kazan wisteria vines on their way home from Shigadera. [Though your branches snap, / twin, wisteria blossoms, / around those ladies who would set out for their homes / with indifferent glances.] (McCullough 1985, pp. 35-36)
