Composed as a poem on Autumn leaves, when he was in a poetry competition.
山姫にちへの錦を手向けてもちる紅葉をいかでとゞめむ
yama Fime ni tiFe no nisiki wo tamukete mo tiru momidi wo ikade todomemu |
The divine princess of the mountain Has the very choicest of brocades Laid before her, yet The scattering of the Autumn leaves Can be halted, how? |
