Roma-ji: Yo o itoi ko no moto goto ni tachiyorite utsubushizome no asa no kinu nari
English Translation: Weary of the world,
beneath every tree I pass
I stop and lie face down—
so it is a hempen robe
dyed in "face-down" gall-nut gray
Meaning: Weary of the world, I stop beneath every tree and lie face down, and so my robe of hemp is dyed with "utsubushi," the gall-nut gray of lying prone.
