遊祐正寺
亙光明減隔煙霞，
背指城樓十萬家。
塵裏春風慣不好，
清明踐約問閑花。
A visit to the Yūshōji temple.
One by one the lights grow weaker, separated by fog and mist,
The temple’s back wall faces the city gates and thousands of homes.
I am not yet used to the whirling dust of the spring breeze,
And no flowers yet for the coming Qingming festival. (HK)
Comp. Sôjin ‘81 # 13, Sôjin ‘88 p. 50
