SCSS V: 294

When the Gokyōgoku Regent ordered her to produce a hundred poem sequence.

いくめぐり過行く秋にあひぬらむかはらぬ月の影をながめて

iku meguri
sugiyuku aki ni
ainuramu
kawaranu tsuki no
kage o nagamete
How many circuits,
Passing through autumn
Might I have encountered,
The unchanging moon’s
Lit face within my gaze?
