Hi all,
Can anyone help me locate the original Japanese text for any of the following three short poems?
Below are the English translations (which I came across in a book, “Women Poets of Japan,” by Ikuko Atsumi and Kenneth Rexroth). I would love to see these works in their untranslated form! Thanks a bunch in advance <3

1) by Yosano Akiko:
I can give myself to her
In her dreams
Whispering her own poems
In her ear as she sleeps beside me

2) by Yamakawa Tomiko:
I leave all the scarlet flowers
For the woman I love
And hiding my tears from her
I pick
The flower of forgetfulness.

3) by Chino Masako:
I shall hide myself
within the moon of the spring night
after I have dared to reveal
my love to you.
