Composed on someone passing through chrysanthemums to reach a sage’s dwelling.
濡れて干す山路の菊の露のまにいつか千歳を我は経にけむ

nurete Fosu yamazi no kiku no tuyu no ma ni ituka titose wo ware Fa Fenikemu

Drenched, then drying On this mountain path with chrysanthemum Dewdrops—in that little space Has, somehow, a thousand years Passed me by?
