From the Poetry Match held by Tsurayuki in the Second Month. Tengyō 2 – The Middle of Winter.

しら雪の降りつもりぬるおく山はあからがしはもうづもれにけり

shirayuki no furitsumorinuru okuyama wa akaragashiwa uzumorenikeri

Snow, so white, Has fallen, drifted high, Deep within the mountains The scarlet-leaved oaks Are completely buried.
