A poem composed for the four seasons screen behind the guest of honour when the Principal Handmaid celebrated the fortieth birthday of the Fujiwara Major Captain of the Right (Autumn):
住の江の松を秋風吹くからにこゑうちそふるおきつ白浪
| suminoe no matu wo aki kaze Fuku kara ni kowe utisoFuru oki tu siranami |
At Suminoe The pines by autumn winds Are blown, so Their voices add to The whitecaps, off the shore. |
