A poem from a poetry competition held by Her Majesty, the Empress, during the Kanpyō era.

秋風にこゑをほにあげてくる舟はあまのとわたるかりにぞありける

aki kaze ni kowe wo Fo ni agete kuru Funa Fa ama no to wataru kari ni zo arikeru

In the autumn wind, Hark! Voices raised with the sails, These boats approaching Cross from a skybound shore: The geese are here.
