吹雪
Language: Japanese (日本語) 
Chosen for Diff
山の翁は市に来て
雪降る朝を酒買はで
顔うつくしき舞姫の
人形買ひて帰りけり

翁の家は一里半
人住む里へ道もなき
ぶなの木しげる谷かげの
炭焼小屋のそれなりき

いづこに生れいつよりか
其処に住みけむ一人とて
知る者もなき山住みの
翁を人はあやしみぬ

幾月ぶりに里に出て
得たるは日頃のさだまりの
酒にあらでこれはまた
翁にも似ぬ色ごのみ

その日の夕べ狩人は
里遠からぬ山みちの
吹雪の中に倒れ伏す
翁をこそは見出たり

息たへぬれど両の手に
しかと肌に押しあてて
ぬくむるごとく人形を
離さでありし翁をば
