Composed on a picture of a man making his way through chrysanthemums, going to a wizard’s palace in the moutains.
ぬれてほす山ぢの菊のつゆのまにいつかちとせを我はへにけむ
nurete Fosu yamadi no kiku no tuyu no ma ni itu ka titose wo ware Fa Fenikemu |
Drying myself, drenched On mountain paths with chrysanthemum Dewfall, in an instant Somehow did a thousand years Pass me by? |
