During the Kanpyō period, when he was ordered to present an old poem, he wrote out the poem starting ‘Along the River Tatsuta/Flow scarlet leaves’ and composed this in the same spirit.
み山よりおちくる水の色見てぞ秋は限と思ひしりぬる
miyama yori otikuru midu no iro mite zo aki Fa kagiri to omoFishirinuru |
From the mountains’ heart Tumbles water: A glimpse at its hue and that Autumn is done I know, indeed. |
