KKS XIX: 1014

Composed on the Sixth day of the Seventh Month on the feelings of Tanabata.

いつしかとまたく心をはぎにあげてあまのかはらをけふやわたらむ

itusika to
mataku kokoro wo
Fagi ni agete
ama no kaFara wo
keFu ya wataramu
So impatiently
Has he waited that
Baring his shins in the dawn
On Heaven’s River shore
Might he cross today?

Fujiwara no Kanesuke
