後徳大寺左大臣
ごとくだいじさだいじん
ほととぎす 鳴きつる方を ながむれば
ただ有明の 月ぞ残れる
歌意
ほととぎすが鳴いた方角を眺めると、姿は見えず、ただ有明の月が空に残っているだけであった。
English Translation
When I turned my look
Toward the place whence I had heard
Hototogisu,--
Lo! the only object there
Was the moon of early dawn.
Toward the place whence I had heard
Hototogisu,--
Lo! the only object there
Was the moon of early dawn.
