Would appreciate corrections to the following transcription of the commentary by Okuda Takematsu 奧田竹松 of Ito Chuta's sketch titled 在獨日本人拘禁せらる (Japanese Nationals Detained in Germany):
人魂かと
流星と
去くれり
竹松
with thanks!

In my reading,

人魂かと流星に青くなり
Hitodama ka to nagareboshi ni aoku nari
Turning pale as the shooting star lights up,
wondering if it was the spirit of a dead person.

For comparison:
青 草書体
去 草書体

With regards,
I.Nagy
