KKS XVIII: 1000

Composed when she had received an imperial command to present poems, and written down at the end.

山河のおとにのみきくももしきを身をはやながら見るよしもがな

yamagaFa no
oto ni nomi kiku
momosiki wo
mi wo Faya nagara
miru yosi mo gana
A mountain brook
Babbling is all I hear
Over the many-stoned palace
Swift as the current would I return to the days
I saw it-how I wish it could be so!
