A poem from the Poetry Contest at Prince Koresada’s house.
秋なれば山とよむまでなく鹿に我おとらめやひとり寝る夜は
| aki nareba yama toyomu made naku sika ni ware otorame ya Fitori nuru yo Fa | When the autumn comes Until the very mountains resound Do bell the stags, but Are their cries any less than mine, Sleeping alone tonight… |
