Envoy:
天の川霧立ちわたる今日今日と我が待つ君し舟出すらしも
ama nö kapa kïri tati wataru kepu kepu tö wa ga matu kimi si puna desurasi mo |
On heaven’s river The mists rise and drift across “It’s today! Today!” My awaited lord Has set off in his boat, I think. |
The above poems are said to have been composed by the Major Captain of the Central Palace Guards Headquarters, from the house of the Northern Lord Fujiwara [Fujiwara no Fusasaki (681 – 737)].
