GSIS IV: 256

Composed for the Palace Poetry Match held on the 10th day of the Eighth Month, Kanna 1.

いつもみる月ぞとおもへどあきのよはいかなるかげをそふるなるらん

itumo miru
tuki zo to omoFedo
aki no yo Fa
ika naru kage wo
soFurunaruran
Always, do I see
The moon, I thought, yet
On an autumn night
What is this light
That trails over all?

Fujiwara no Nagayoshi
