Additional quotes by Ono no Komachi

Although I come to you constantly
over the roads of dreams,
those nights of love
are not worth one waking touch of you.

The flowers and my love
Passed away under the rain,
While I idly looked upon them
Where is my yester-love?

Hito ni awamu
Tsuki no naki yo wa
Omoiokite
Mune hashiri hi ni
Kokoro yakeori
