SIS III: 204

For a painting of travellers resting beneath scarlet leaves, on a sliding door in the Awata mountain retreat of the Nijō Minister of the Right.

今よりは紅葉のもとにやどりせじをしむに旅の日かずへぬべし

ima yori Fa
momidi no moto ni
yadorisezi
wosimu ni tabi no
Fikazu Fenubesi
From now on
Beneath the scarlet leaves
I’ll not be let rest, for
Regretfully, my travelling
Days have come upon me.
