Does that person know that my feelings are as full as those sprouts? (Waka number 604) Ki no Tsurayuki That person is like a sandalwood bow, untouched for many years. Because of this, I cannot sleep peacefully at night, tossing and turning. (Waka number 605) Ki no Tsurayuki It is only the fact that my feelings are not understood by that person that makes me sad; I do not have any other desires. After all, only I know my sorrow. (Waka number 606) Ki no Tomonori It's just that I don't express it in words, so it's not that my sincerity is lacking. Just as the water of the Minase River flows underground and is hidden from view, I secretly communicate my feelings; how truly lovely that is.
