A love poem, from when he presented a hundred poem sequence to Retired Emperor Sutoku.
おもひわび見しおもかげはさてをきてこひせざりけんおりぞこひしき
| omoi wabi mishi omokage wa sate okite koi sezariken ori zo koishiki |
Sunk in grief At a face once glimpsed- I’ll not say it more! When I had never loved- That time is dearest to me now. |
Master of the Dowager Empress’ Household Office Toshinari
