Once when Lord Narihira had gone into the province of Ise, he met in great secrecy with the lady serving as shrine priestess; on the following day, while he was thinking about how he had no way to send to her, this arrived from her.
君や來し我や行きけむ思ほえず夢かうつつか寢てかさめてか
| kimi ya kosi ware ya yukikemu omoFoezu yume ka ututu ka nete ka samete ka |
Did you come Or I go? I know not; Was it dream or truth? Sleeping or waking? |
