National Poetry Month: 伊勢物語

From the book: Ise monogatari 《伊勢物語》
(Translated by Helen Craig McCullogh)

風ふけば                 Is he journeying?

おきるしらなみ     alone in the dead of night

たつた山                 across that mountain

夜はにやきみが     whose name recalls waves at sea

ひとりこゆらむ     rising when the tempest blows?
