Sanekata Shū 310

Composed at court, as a poem with zo as the last syllable, on the topic of ‘the mountains, dyed in autumn.’

もみぢ葉の色をたづねて入る人も思はぬ山を思ふらむやぞ

momidiba no
iro wo tadunete
iru Fito mo
omoFanu yama wo
omoFuramu ya zo
Autumn leaves’
Colours seeking
In the mountains, do such folk
All unthinking
Dwell on life among the peaks?
