Composed on the anniversary of the death of the Fukakusa Emperor (Ninmyō (810-850; r. 833-850))
草ふかき霞の谷に影かくしてるひのくれしけふにやはあらぬ
| kusa Fukaki kasumi no tani ni kage kakusi teru Fi no kuresi keFu ni ya Fa aranu |
Overgrown with grasses, Haze fills the valley Hiding the light Of the shining sun which set here- On this day, was it not? |
Fun’ya no Yasuhide
