When he visited the Naniwa Palace in Kyōun 3 [706]

葦邊行 鴨之羽我比尓 霜零而 寒暮夕 和之所念

葦辺行く鴨の羽交ひに霜降りて寒き夕は大和し思ほゆ

asibe yuku
kamo no pagapi ni
simo purite
samuki yupube pa
yamato si omopoyu
Huddled in the reeds
Upon the ducks’ folded wings
Frost falls and
In the evening’s cold
My thoughts dwell upon Yamato.

Left.

かれぬるはさぞなためしとながめてもなぐさまなくに霜の下草

karenuru wa
sazona tameshi to
nagametemo
nagusamanakuni
shimo no shitagusa
All is shriveled up, and
Thinking that another case might,
I gaze upon, yet
Find no comfort in
The frost-burned underleaves.

Right (Win).

秋の色にさてもかれなで蘆邊こぐ棚ゝし小舟我ぞつれなき

aki no iro ni
sate mo karenade
ashibe kogu
tananashi obune
ware zo tsurenaki
Tired with the hues of autumn,
Yet unable to depart:
Rowing beside the reed-beds
In a board-less boat,
I am all forlorn.
