● 金子みすゞさんの詩情とその英訳 （英訳：坂井孝彦，英文校閲：Frances Ford）
79.見えないもの
ねんねした間になにがある。
うすももいろの花びらが、
お床の上にふりつもり、
お目をさませぱ、ふと消える。
だれもみたものないけれど、
だれがうそだといいましょう。
まばたきするまに何がある。
白い天馬がはねのべて、
白羽の矢よりもまだ早く、
青い空をすぎてゆく。
だれもみたものないけれど、
だれがうそだといえましょう。

The Invisible
What happened while you were sleeping?
petals in (the削除) light pink
have piled up on the floor
until I wake up
(to) [⇒and] feel the scene disappear suddenly.
Nobody else may have ever actually seen it,
but who can say it is false?
What happened while you were blinking?
A white horse of heaven, on (the削除) wings,
with its speed swifter than that of a white arrow,
passes through a blue sky.
Nobody may have ever actually seen such scene as this,
but who can say it is false?

(A Dress for a Cicada) [⇒The Dress of a Cicada]
“Mother,
in the shade of the tree at the back
I have found the cast-off dress (for) [⇒of] a cicada.”
“It’s been hot here,
so the cicada must’ve also taken off her dress,
and then must’ve left it behind
to fly away.”
“When evening has set in
she’ll feel cold, I’m afraid.
Where has she gone?
I wonder if I could hand it over to her.”
