SIS XII: 720

Sent in the morning after he had first visited the Fifth Lady of the Hon’in mansion.

あさまだき露わけきつる衣手のひるまばかりにこひしきやなぞ

asa madaki
tuyu wakekituru
koromode no
Firu ma bakari ni
koFisiki ya na zo
So early in the morning
Did I make my way through the dew
Upon my sleeves,
By brief noon will dry, but
Why do I yearn for you more, even so?

Taira no Yukitoki
