A poem composed by the deceased Emperor on the occasion of a visit to the Yoshino Palace.

見吉野乃　山下風之　寒久尓　為當也今夜毛　我獨宿牟

み吉野の山のあらしの寒けくにはたや今夜も我が独り寝む

miyosino no yama no arasi no samukeku ni pata ya koyopi mo wa ga pitori nemu

Though in fair Yoshino The storm-winds off the mountains Feel so chill, Yet again tonight Will I sleep alone?

Emperor Monmu (683-707; r. 697-707)
