On a day when I had been visiting temples, to the Captain of the Outer Palace Guards:
いそがなむ散りもこそすれもみぢするまさきのかづら遲くゝるとて
| isoganamu tiri mo koso sure momidi suru masaki no kadura osoku kuru tote |
Make haste! For they will fall, Taking on autumn shades, The evergreen creepers, Should you dally more! |
