KYS IV: 284

Composed on the conception of snow as part of a hundred poem sequence.

いかにせむ末の松山なみこさば峯の初雪きえもこそすれ

ika ni semu
suwe no matuyama
nami kosaba
mine no Fatuyuki
kie mo koso sure
What am I to do?
If upon the pine-clad peak of Sué
The waves should break,
The first snows upon the peak
Would vanish clear away!

Minister of the Treasury [Ōe no] Masafusa
大藏卿匡房
