GSS VII: 423

When a man she had been seeing had failed to visit for a long time, she sent him this in the Longest Month.

おほかたのあきのそらだにかなしきにものおもひそふ昨日今日かな

oFokata no
aki no sora dani
kanasiki ni
mono’omoFisoFu
kinoFu keFu kana
As ever,
Even the autumn sky’s
Sadness is
Overlaid with gloomy thoughts
Today, and the day before!
