SKKS XIV: 1291

From the Hundred Poem Poetry Contest at the house of the Regent and Grand Minister.

わすれずはなれし袖もやこほるらんねぬよのとこのしものさむしろ

wasurezu wa
nareshi sode mo ya
koruran
nenu yo no toko no
shimo no samushiro
Had she not forgotten me,
Would my sleeves be so used
To freezing, I wonder?
In bed on a sleepless night,
Frost falling on my meagre mat.
