(3) The poems of Mt. Fuji by Akahito Yamabe from Manyoshu

The poem (Vol.3-317)
@Since long long ago
@‚vhen the divine will separated ‚”he heaven from the earth
@Mt. Fuji in Suruga soars venerably
@
@When a man looks up in the sky
@It throws the shadow against the field of the clouds
@It shut out the moon light under the starry skies
@And any time it snows
@
@Now let us hand down the story
@From generation to generation
@On this dignified Mt. Fuji!

@The introduction:
Next to No.318 there are three anonymous poems of Mt. Fuji. As they are anonymous they are not so popular than Yamabe's. But some experts take them. They are as follow:

The poem (Vol.3-319)
@On the boundary between the two countries
@Mountainious Kai and seashore Suruga
@Mt. Fuji soars on high

@Blocking the way of clouds

@Quenching the fire with the snows
@Thawing the snows with the fire
@Words cannot describe the view
@So heavenly it is

@The sea, Se-no-umi people say is
@One of the lakes it includes
@The river, Fujikawa people say and get accross is
@Gushing springs of that mountain

@The genious lo-ci of Nippon
@The treasure of Yamato
@No one will be tired of lookin at
@Mt. Fuji in Suruga!
