Composed during the reign of Emperor Uda when men from the Chamberlain’s Office were composing poems when about to return from Sagano, where they had gone to view the flowers.
花にあかでなにかへるらむをみなへしおほかるのべにねなましものを
| Fana ni akade nani kaFeruran wominaFesi oFokaru nobe ni nenamasi mono wo |
Still unsated by the blooms, So why return home? The maidenflowers Fill this meadow: Here’s where I would sleep! |
Taira no Sadafun
