A poem composed at a competition held by Her Majesty, the Empress during the Kampyō era (889-898).
河の瀨になびく玉藻のみがくれて人に知られぬ戀もする哉
kaFa no se ni nabiku tamamo no migakurete Fito ni sirarenu koFi mo suru kana |
Beneath the river shallows Trails gemweed, Hidden in the waters; She does not know The love I feel. |
Ki no Tomonori
