GSS XV: 1083

When he was thinking about the pain of the world of men.

住みわびぬ今は限と山里につま木こるべき宿求めてん

sumiwabinu
ima Fa kagiri to
yamazato ni
tumaki korubeki
yado motometen
Living here is pain alone
And now I can take no more;
In a mountain hamlet
Where I must gather kindling
I would make my home.

Narihira
業平
