KKS V: 295

A poem from the Poetry Competition at Prince Koresada’s house.

わがきつる方もしられずくらふ山木木のこのはのちるとまがふに

wa ga kituru
kata mo sirarezu
kuraFu yama
kigi no ko no ha no
tiru to magaFu ni
I have come
I know not where:
For in the dimness on Dark Mountain
Amongst the trees’ leaves
Falling I have lost my way.

Toshiyuki
