荊山

読み下だし


英訳

Autumn hills, chilly air billowing through my robes.
The cold has begun, the light of the Milky Way shimmering in the sky.
The wind speaks, then before I know it, pine cones falling from the trees.
Deer belling now and again, harmonious sounds in the night.

Line two: The second character we have tentatively identified as 寒. Another possibility is 室, in which case the line would begin, "Standing in my room...."

Line four: The image of belling deer figures frequently in Japanese autumn poetry, most often as a lonesome but appealing image of solitude amidst tranquility. In traditional Chinese thought the deer is a symbol of riches and good fortune as well as longevity. This line may have been inspired by Ode 161 in Shih ching (Lu Ming, "Deer Belling").
