KKS IV: 196

Composed listening to the chirping of a cricket, having gone to a friend’s house one evening.

蟋蟀いたくななきそ秋の夜の長き思ひは我ぞまされる

kirigirisu
itaku na naki so
aki no yo no
nagaki omoFi Fa
ware zo masareru
Oh, crickets
Sing not so sadly!
For on autumn nights
Lengthy reveries
Of mine are sadder far.

Fuijwara no Tadafusa
