柿本人麻呂
かきのもとのひとまろ
あしびきの 山鳥の尾の しだり尾の
ながながし夜を ひとりかも寝む
歌意
山鳥の尾のように長い長い夜を、私は（あなたを想って）ひとり寂しく寝るのだろうか。
English Translation
Ah! the foot-drawn trail
Of the mountain-pheasant's tail
Drooped like down-curved branch!--
Through this long, long-dragging night
Must I keep my couch alone?
Of the mountain-pheasant's tail
Drooped like down-curved branch!--
Through this long, long-dragging night
Must I keep my couch alone?
