Kinkai wakashū 295

Composed after I had had various people compose on the autumn oak leaves on Mount Sao in a shower.

さほやまのははそのもみぢちぢの色にうつろふ秋は時雨ふりにけり

saoyama no
hahaso no momiji
chiji no iro ni
ustsurou aki wa
shigure furinikeri
Upon Mount Sao
The oaks’ autumn leaves are
A multitude of hues
Shifting in the autumn, for
The showers fall.
