Composed on hearing that a man had come calling on a night when it was raining heavily on a woman who had told him not to come again.
み笠山さし離れぬときゝしかど雨もよにとは思ひし物を
| mikasa yama sasiFanarenu to kikisikado ame mo yo ni to Fa omoFisi mono wo |
The Mount of Mikasa Is very far from you, I’d heard; Surely, not in such rain, Or so I did think! |
