Composed on the evening of the year.

へだて行くよよの面かげかきくらし雪にふりぬるとしの暮かな

hedateyuku yo yo no omokage kakikurashi yuki ni furinuru toshi no kure kana

Disappearing into the distance Are the shapes of times gone by, Darkness descending with The falling snow—my age At the evening of the year.

The Daughter of Master of the Dowager Empress Household Office Toshinari
