When His Majesty requested a hundred poem sequence, he composed this as an ice poem.
月さゆる氷のうへに霰ふりこゝろくだくるたまがはの里
tuki sayuru koFori no uFe ni arare Furi kokoro kudakuru tamagaFa no sato |
The moon so bright Upon the ice Hail falls Breaking my heart In my Tama River home. |
Master of the Dowager Empress’ Household Office [Fujiwara no] Toshinari
