A poem composed at a poetry competition held by Her Majesty, the Empress Dowager, during the Reign of the Kanpyō Emperor.

秋の野の草のたもとか花すすきほにいでてまねく袖と見ゆらむ

aki no no no kusa no tamoto ka Fana susuki Fo ni idete maneku sode to miyuran

In the autumn fields Does the grass have cuffs Of flowering miscanthus? The ripe ears are beckoning Sleeves, or so they seem.

Ariwara no Muneyana
