Fubokushō IX: 3762

From the poetry match at Tsurayuki’s house in the Second Month, Tengyō 2 – The end of summer.

むかしより思ふ心はみな月のみそぎの神ぞ空にしるらん

mukashi yori
omou kokoro wa
minazuki no
misogi no kami zo
sora ni shiruran
For a long time now,
Yearning has filled my heart:
In the Sixth Month
The purifying deity
Seems to know it well, within the skies.
