Narabu ka to
Miete wa soreru
Tombo kana!
Lo! the dragon-flies that seemed to fly in line all scatter away from each other.
Mentioned in Love-Songs
Kagerō no
Kagetomo ware wa
Nari nikeri
Aruka nakika no
Kimi ga nasake ni.
Even as the shadow of a dragon-fly I have become, by reason of the slightness of your love.
Obotsukana!
Yume ka? utsutsu ka?
Kagerō no
Honomeku yori mo
Hakana karishi wa!
O my doubt! Is it a dream or a reality?—more fugitive than even the dim flitting of a dragon-fly!
