When the Tenryaku Emperor [Murakami] died, the services finished on the Seventh Day of the Seventh Month and everyone scattered hither and thither, leaving him behind among the ladies-in-waiting.
今日よりは天の河霧たち別れいかなる空にあはむとす覽
| keFu yori Fa ama no kaFagiri tatiwakare ika naru sora ni aFamu to suran |
From this day on The river-mists of Heaven Rise and part; In what sky Would we meet again, I wonder. |
