Kinkai wakashū 311

Composed on an occasion when I had commanded many people to compose on the conception of the last day of the Ninth month.

はつせ山けふをかぎりとながめつつ入相のかねに秋ぞくれぬる

hatsuseyama
kyō o kagiri to
nagametsutsu
iriai no kane ni
aki zo kurenuru
On Mount Hatsuse,
Today marks the bound, I think
While gazing out, while
With the sunset bell
Autumn passes into dusk.
