Poem 85 vs poem 90

[edit]

The Man'yōshū contains two very similar poems:

85: 君が行 日長くなりぬ 山たずね迎えか行かむ 待ちにか待たむ
90: 君が行 日長くなりぬ 山たずの迎えを行かむ 待つには待たじ

85 is attributed to Princess Iwa, while 90 seems to be attributed to 軽太郎女 (though it is tagged 作者:磐姫皇后 here—that may just mean that it's based on her poem).

This article had 85 in Japanese script only, followed by side by side romaji/English of 90. I removed both. There are translations of 85 online ([1]) but they probably can't be used here for copyright reasons (which is another reason to delete the translation that was here). -- BenRG (talk) 04:12, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
