A poem composed at a competition held by Her Majesty, the Empress during the Kampyō era (889-898).
わが宿の菊のかきねにをく霜のきえかへりてぞ戀しかりける
wa ga yado no kiku no kakine ni woku simo no kiekaFerite zo koFisikarikeru |
At my house On chrysanthemums by the fence The frost settles only to Vanish and return again; Even so is my love. |
Ki no Tomonori
