KKS XVI: 835

Composed when someone he knew well died.

寢るがうちに見るをのみやは夢といはむはかなき世をも現とは見ず

nuru ga uti ni
miru wo nomi ya Fa
yume to iFamu
Fakanaki yo wo mo
ututu to Fa mizu
When in sleep –
Is only what we see then
To be called a dream?
This fleeting world, too,
I cannot see as reality.

Mibu no Tadamine
壬生忠岑
