[なげきをばこりのみつみてあしひきの／]
やまのかひなくなりぬへらなり／
人こふることをおもにと思ひもて／あふこなきこそわひしかりけれ／
よひのまにいてゝいりぬるみか月の／われてものおもふころにも有かな／
そへにとてとすれはかゝりかくすれは／あないひしらすあふさきるさに／
よのなかのうきたひことに身をなけは／ [ふかき谷こそあさくなりなめ]
やまのかひなくなりぬへらなり／
人こふることをおもにと思ひもて／あふこなきこそわひしかりけれ／
よひのまにいてゝいりぬるみか月の／われてものおもふころにも有かな／
そへにとてとすれはかゝりかくすれは／あないひしらすあふさきるさに／
よのなかのうきたひことに身をなけは／ [ふかき谷こそあさくなりなめ]

Translation
KKS XIX:1057 supplication tree / he fells heaping one upon / another till they / mount and fill the ravine as / his hopeless sighs multiply
KKS XIX: 1058 his yearning love he / bears like a heavy burden / on his shoulders like / a porter without a pole— / no meeting eases his lot
KKS XIX: 1059 when the three-day moon / climbs into the dark expanse / of night sky my heart / too becomes diminished and / shadowed with melancholy
KKS XIX: 1060 when I say I’ll do / this it turns out that when I / say I’ll do that the / result is this what can I / say it’s all misunderstanding
KKS XIX: 1061 if in this sad world / each time someone met with grief / he cast himself from / the highest cliff even deep / valleys would become shallow (Rodd 2017, pp. 361-362)

なげきをばこりのみつみてあしひきの山のかひなくなりぬべらなり
1058
人こふる事をおもにとになひもてあふごなきこそわびしかりけれ
1059
よひのまにいでていりぬるみか月のわれて物思ふころにもあるかな
1060
そゑにとてとすればかかりかくすればあないひしらずあふさきるさに
1061
世中のうきたびごとに身をなげばふかき谷こそあさくなりなめ
