Once she had gone to a temple called Isonokami and, when it grew dark, she decided to return home with the dawn and stayed the night; someone said, ‘Henjō is here,’ so she sent him this to see what his reaction would be.
岩の上旅寢をすればいと寒し苔の衣を我に貸さなん
iFa no uFe tabine wo sureba ito samusi koke no koromo wo ware ni kasanan |
Atop this crag I am to spend a traveller’s night; So cold! Your robes of moss, Won’t you lend me? |
Ono no Komachi
