SKKS VIII: 773

At about the time his wife died, the wife of Lord Fujiwara no Tameyori passed away, so he sent him this.

よそなれどおなじ心ぞかよふべきたれも思ひのひとつならねば

yoso naredo
onaji kokoro zo
kayoubeki
tare mo omoi no
hitotsu naraneba
I am no relation, yet
How similar our griefs
Must be;
For no other’s feelings
Match them…

The Ononomiya Minister of the Right [Fujiwara no Sanesuke (957-1046)]
