KYS VI: 345

Composed on the spirit of parting as part of a hundred poem sequence.

秋霧の立ち別れぬる君により晴れぬ思ひにまどひぬるかな

akigiri no
tati wakarenuru
kimi ni yori
Farenu omoFi ni
madoFinuru kana
The Autumn mists,
Rising as you departed,
For your sake
Amidst clouded thought
I have lost my way, I feel.

Fujiwara no Mototoshi
