白雪の零るるばかりしきふれば幼なの頃の花苑(はなぞの)ぞ開(あ)く

unending

white snow falling

and spilling…

my childhood nostalgic 

flower garden opens up 

2

寒波鳴る荒びの風雪ことごとく真白にかへし現し身こもる

echoing cold wave…

the winter-raging snow 

returns

all to pure white

I shut myself in

3

雪雲の透けてひきゆく間に描くわが想念のあれこれかも

all my thoughts

and feelings to draw

while snow clouds

are moving in and out

through my heart

4

いま君はいづこに居るや ソーシャルメディアにちらほら光(て)る君の影

Now

where are you?

Your shadow

flickering and shiny

on social media

5

冬山の道は閉ざされ進み得ず谷間にあぎとふ行方のしるべ

Winter mountain…

my path is closed, and cannot

be followed

While panting in the valley

I seek a sign

6

大寒波の雲におほはれ谷暗し水な凍てそ凍てそと忍ぶる

valley is

dark with a major cold wave

now, be patient

hoping that water

won’t freeze, won’t freeze

7

白銀の嶺嶺(ねね)の杉なみ凛凛とあやしの雲へ透(す)き立ちにけり

all pure white

graceful cedars in each ridge

rising

through the mysterious

snow clouds

8

束縛のにほひにふるへ歩きけり雪原燦く冬晴れの朝

Restraint…

I walk quivering

with its smell

It’s a fine winter morning

with sparkling snowfields

9

従順のつひに叫びき「われ違ふ！」囲の渦中 時は流れて

Obedience

finally exclaimed

‘I’m not so’

in an enclosing world

…time flows

10

深雪にし熟睡(うまい)の闇は覚めがたし彩（いろ）冴ゆる地は春の香はこぶ

because of deep snow

it’s hard to wake from the dark

in a sound sleep

spring fragrance will bring

a vivid, colourful land
