読み下だし

英訳

Sitting alone in the overgrown garden, spring regrets unending.
All the flowers are in bloom, and yet I feel aggrieved.
I've heard about what happened to you seventeen years ago,
And vainly recall those bygone days, my heart rent with sorrow.

Line three: The poet could be recalling the death of a relative or friend seventeen years earlier. The seventeenth year, like the thirteenth, twenty-fifth, and thirty-third years, was a designated odd-numbered year when a memorial service was normally held for the deceased.
