Composed on the conception of coming unexpectedly, but being unable to meet, when people were composing ten love poem sequences at the residence of Lord Toshitada.
おもひ草葉末にむすぶしら露のたまたまきては手にもたまらず
| omoFigusa Fazue ni musubu siratuyu no tamatama kite Fa te ni mo tamarazu | My passion, to the dayflower’s Leaf-tips clings A silver dewdrop Gem—unexpectedly arriving, It will not fall into my hand… |
Lord Minamoto no Toshiyori
