KKS VI: 315

Composed as a Winter poem.

山里は冬ぞさびしさまさりける人めも草もかれぬと思へば

yamazato Fa
Fuyu zo sabisisa
Masarikeru
Fitome mo kusa mo
karenu to omoFeba
In a mountain home
Winter is when loneliness
Overwhelms me;
The bustle of folk and the grasses, too,
Have withered away, I feel.

Minamoto no Muneyuki (d.939)
