Upon the path of dreams <br />My feet don't rest, <br />Constantly trailing to you, yet <br />In reality, a single glimpse: <br />Not even that have I had of you. <br /> <br />Another translation by Kenneth Rexroth: <br /> <br />Although I come to you constantly <br />over the roads of dreams, <br />those nights of love <br />are not worth one waking touch of you.<br /><br />Ono no Komachi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/upon-the-path-of-dreams/
