A poem composed at a competition held by Her Majesty, the Empress during the Kampyô era (889-898).
よゐのまもはかなくみゆる夏蟲にまどひまされるこひもするかな
| yowi no ma mo Fakanaku miyuru natumusi ni madoFimasareru koFi mo suru kana |
In the evening How sad seem The moths in their Disastrous confusion; My love does as much to me and more. |
Ki no Tomonori
