深谿を背に花冷の能舞台

a deep gorge
at the back of the Noh stage−
chill on the cherry blossoms

ふだん着で富士と向へり花の冷

I stand facing 　Mt.　Fuji
in everyday clothes−
chill on the cherry blossoms

花冷の書庫へ螺旋の階下る

April chill−
going down the spiral staircase
into the stack room

花の昼眠るごとくに父逝けり

blossoms at midday−
my father passed away
quietly
