192 Shadow! ngs 



Taki no mizu : 

 Myo-ho-renge no 

 Ike to nari ; 

 Guze no f une ni 

 Sao sashite ; 

 Shizumu waga mi wo 

 Nose-tamae ! 



Both form and mind 



Lo ! how these change ! 



The falling of tears 



Is like the water of a cataract 



Let them become the Pool 



Of the Lotos of the Good Law ! 



Poling thereupon 



The Boat of Salvation, 



Vouchsafe that my sinking 



Body may ride ! 



II 



(Period of Bunrokff 1 592-1 596) 



Who twice shall live his youth ? 



What flower faded blooms again ? 



Fugitive as dew 



Is the form regretted, 



Seen only 



In a moment of dream.
