うゐのおくやま
Found 10th century poetry. Absolutely perfect for this 21st century moment in my life.| いろはにほへと | (Iro wa nioedo) | Even if colours have sweet perfume |
| ちりぬるを | (chirinuru wo) | eventually they fade away |
| わかよたれそ | (waga yo tare zo) | What in this world |
| つねならむ | (tsune naran) | is eternal? |
| うゐのおくやま | (ui no okuyama) | The deep mountains of vanity |
| けふこえて | (kyō koete) | I cross them today |
| あさきゆめみし | (asaki yume mishi) | renouncing superficial dreams |
| ゑひもせす | (yoi mo sezu) | not giving in to their madness any more |
