KKS V: 275

Composed on a chrysanthemum planted beside a picture of Osawa pond.

ひともとと思ひしきくをおほさはの池のそこにもたれかうゑけむ

Fitomoto to
omoFisi kiku wo
oFosaFa no
ike no soko ni mo
tare ka uwekemu
There’s a single stem-
I thought-of chrysanthemum, yet
At Osawa
Pond, within there is another;
Who planted it, I wonder?
