At around the same time the Lady Shōjō performed as one of the Gosechi dancers and I sent this to her on her return:
神舞しをとめにいかで榊葉の變はらぬ色と知らせてしかな
| kamimawishi wotome ni ikade sakakiba no kaFaranu iro to sirasetesi kana |
As a goddess did you dance, O, maiden; somehow, that As the sacred evergreens’ Unchanging hues is my passion, I would have you know. |
