A great snowfall there has been

But at your dilapidated old village at Ohara

Later it will fall, if any

Man'yoshu I 03

(The Lady's reply)

It was I who bid the Dragon God

In these hills of mine

To cause the snow to fall, whereof perchance

Some odd bits and pieces got scattered

At your place

Man'yoshu I 04

In Ohara, old and weathered

Village back home

I have left my sweetheart there

Scarcely can I sleep

But let her if she will

Appear in my dreams at least

Man'yoshu 2587
