ShSZS XIII: 1324

On love in the rain, when she presented a hundred poem sequence for the Hōji hyakushu [1248].

おもひきやなみだにしぼる袖に猶身をしる雨をそへん物とは

omoiki ya
namida ni shiboru
sode ni nao
mi o shiru ame o
soen mono to wa
Never did I think, that
I would wring the tears
From my sleeves yet still
The rain upon my misery
Would add to it…
