Nature
The Mina stream comes tumbling down
Translated by William N. Porter (1909) · From A Hundred Verses from Old Japan (Hyakunin Isshu), poem 13
Nature
The Mina stream comes tumbling down
From Mount Tsukuba’s height;
Strong as my love, it leaps into
A pool as black as night
With overwhelming might.
