When the same lady once failed to appear, pretending to be away and saying she had gone to her estates, I went to the palace; the following morning the lady sent to me, saying:
天の戸をさしてこゝにと思ひせばあくるもまたず歸らましやは
ama no to wo sasite koko ni to omoFiseba akuru mo matazu kaFeramasi ya Fa |
If within the Gate of Heaven To peer from here Had been your wish, Should you really have failed to bide ’til dawn And returned home? |
