A cuckoo poem from a hundred-poem sequence composed at the request of the former Regent and Lay Priest, when he was Minister of the Right.
雨そゝくはなたち花に風すぎて山郭公雲になくなり
| ame sosoku hana tachibana ni kaze sugite yama hototogisu kumo ni naku nari |
Rain drips From the orange blossoms, Blown by the wind; A mountain cuckoo Calls from within the distant clouds. |
Master of the Dowager Empress’ Household Office [Fujiwara no] Toshinari
