SKKS XVIII: 1803

On autumn leaves in a hundred poem sequence of reminiscences.

嵐ふくみねのもみぢの日にそへてもろくなりゆくわが涙哉

arashi fuku
mine no momiji no
hi ni soete
moroku nariyuku
wa ga namida kana
As the storm winds rage
On the peaks the leaves turn
With the passing days
How much easier it is to shed
My tears.

Master of the Dowager Empress Household Office Toshinari
