Seeing the handmaid who had served the daughter of Major Captain of the Left Asateru, one of the Gosechi Dancers, he sent this to her:
あまつそらとよのあかりに見し人のなをおもかげのしひてこひしき
| ama tsu sora toyo no akari ni mishi hito no nao omokage no shiite koishiki |
Among Heaven’s skies At the dawn of fertility Did I see a lady? Still is her face Dear to me beyond bearing. |
Former Major Councillor Kintō (966-1041)
