Hello!

I am seeking for the Japanese original of this poem by Yosano Akiko:

Come at last to this point
I look back on my passion
And realize that I
Have been like a blind man
Who is unafraid of the dark.

Translated by Kenneth Rexroth

Romaji:

Ima koko ni
Kaerimi sureba
Waga nasake
Yami o osorenu
Meshii ni nitari
 
I hope someone can help you. I had never heard of her before and found a lot of info on her using Google. She was a woman way ahead of her time it seems.
