SKKS IX: 892

Composed and sent to someone who was going somewhere outside of the capital.

なごりおもふたもとにかねてしられけりわかるゝたびのゆくすゑのつゆ

nagori omou
tamoto ni kanete
shirarekeri
wakaruru tabi no
yukusue no tsuyu
The sorrow of this parting
Is plain upon my sleeves
To see;
Parting us, your journey
Ends in dewfall.

Prince Kore’akira
