anonymous - Journey along the Sea Road

"Rain seemed to sound in the greenleaf wind, but from the cries of the cranes swirling among the clouds I knew of the clear skies above. Oh pine, pine, it is your thousand years of constant virtue that keeps you here unchanged, oh journey upon journey, my life is a brief moment, and I cannot hope that we will meet again. 

Today has passed. If I return, you mountains, 

may I find again this path 

beneath the pines of Futamura
