Poetry for my reference

[majochan]

The mists rise over
The still pools at Asuka.
Memory does not
Pass away so easily.

~AKAHITO

Out in the marsh reeds
A bird cries out in sorrow,
As though it had recalled
Something better forgotten.

~KI NO TSURAYUKI

Although I come to you constantly
over the roads of dreams,
those nights of love
are not worth one waking touch of you.

~ONO NO KOMACHI
