A poem composed by Princess Tajima, when she was staying at the palace of Prince Takechi, and thinking fondly of Prince Hozumi.

秋の田の穂向きの寄れる片寄りに君に寄りなな言痛くありとも

aki no ta no po mukiyoreru katayori ni kimi ni yori na na kotitaku ari to mo

In the autumn fields The ripened ears incline Toward me all together; Just as I would beckon you, my love, Heedless of stinging rumours…

Princess Tajima ( -708)
