Here are the complete list of poems of the Hyakunin Isshu, the authors and the first two verses (out of five) of each poem. Often times the names are listed in Japanese, and if the English translation differs, I will put that in (parentheses).
There’s also a very good list (mostly Japanese with some English) that can be consulted here.
Enjoy!
