The Ancient Poem in Asuka Tetsunosuke Kushida
(b. 1935)
I. The gentle winds at Asuka – That flattered the ladies’ sleeves
Those breezes blow in vain – Now that the court is far removed –
II. In the garden of spring – The peach blossoms rosily
grow – And on the flower-lit path beneath – Lo! A maiden walking!
IV. Tonight the autumn moon shines – The moon that
shone a year ago – But my wife and I who watched
together – Are divided by the everwidening wastes of time
