SZS XII: 704

Composed on the conception of love, when hundred poem sequences were presented during the reign of former Emperor Horikawa.

おもひあまり人にとはばやみなせ川むすばぬ水に袖はぬるやと

omoFi’amari
Fito ni toFaba ya
minasegaFa
musubanu midu ni
sode Fa nuru ya to
Love consumes me and so
I would ask her:
Do the ever dry Minase River’s
Intangible waters
Yet soak your sleeves?

Major Counsellor Kinzane
