When making preparations to return to the capital after he had been living at Fukakusa for a while, he composed this poem and sent it to someone there.
年をへて住みこし里をいでて去なばいとど深草野とやなり南
| tosi wo Fete sumikosi sato wo idete inaba itodo fukakusa no to ya narinamu |
The years have passed Dwelling in this house; Were I to leave and go away How lush and thick would the grasses of Fukakusa- Returning to fields-become? |
Ariwara no Narihira
