A poem from the poetry competition at Prince Koresada’s house.
色かはる秋のきくをば一年にふたゝびにほふ花とこそ見れ
| iro kaFaru aki no kiku wo ba Fito tose ni futatabi niFoFu Fana to koso mire |
With their changing hues, Autumn chrysanthemums have Within a single year Two shining moments In full bloom, or so it seems to me. |
