Eikyū hyakushu 139

Summer Garb (夏衣)

身にちかくなるとはすれど衣川ひとへにのみはえこそたのまね

mi ni chikaku
naru to wa suredo
koromogawa
hitoe ni nomi wa
e koso tanomane
Close to my flesh:
To that I am accustomed, yet
The River Robe
In just a single layer:
In that I cannot place my trust!

Lady Higo from the Residence of the Kyōgyoku Regent
