SKKS VI: 670

Composed on snow upon a lodge in the fields.

さびしさをいかにせよとてをかべなるならの葉しだり雪のふるらん

sabishisa o
ika ni seyo tote
okabe naru
nara no ha shidari
yuki no fururan
For this loneliness,
What is there to do?
Upon the hillside
The oak leaves are in tatters
From the snow, no doubt.

Fujiwara no Kunifusa
