Sanekata Shū 95

While at the same palace and hearing that a lady called the Palace Handmaid had had her hair cut by a man.

よそにかく消えみ消えずみ淡雪の布留の社の神をしぞ思ふ

yoso ni kaku
kiemi kiezumi
aFayuki no
Furu no yasiro no
kami wo si zo omoFu
Far and far away,
Melting and falling once more,
A sprinkling of snowflakes,
Falls upon the shrine at Furu:
Whose god – your hair – is in my thoughts.
