Composed at a place called Higurashino, when he was in attendance upon the former Teishi Emperor who had gone to view Miyataki.

ひぐらしのゆきすぎぬともかひもあらじひもとくいももまたじとおもへば

higurashino
yukisuginu tomo
kai mo araji
himo toku imo  mo
mataji to omoeba

Has passed, yet
‘Tis pointless, for
My darling girl to undo her belt
Has waited not, I fear…

Major Counsellor Noboru
