SIS I: 19

For a folding screen for the residence of Minister of the Right Tsunesuke.

野辺見ればわかなつみけりむべしこそかきねの草もはるめきにけれ

nobe mireba
wakana tumikeri
mube si koso
kakine no kusa mo
Farumekinikeri
When I gaze upon the meadows, and
Have picked fresh herbs
Indeed, indeed
The grasses along my brushwood fence
Have grown most springlike!

Tsurayuki
