GSIS XII: 672

Sent when he had returned home from a lady’s house on a day when the snow was falling.

あけぬればくるる物とはしりながらなほうらめしきあさぼらけかな

akenureba
kururu mono to Fa
sirinagara
naFo uramesiki
asaborake kana
Dawn has broken, and
That dusk will come
I know for certain, but
Still, I hate
The morning light!

Fujiwara no Michinobu
