SIS XX: 1285

When the autumn wind was blowing coldly, around the time his wife passed away.

思ひきや秋のよ風のさむけきにいもなきとこにひとりねむとは

omoFiki ya
aki no yokaze no
samukeki ni
imo naki toko ni
Fitori nemu to Fa
How unexpected is
The autumn night’s wind,
So cold upon
My bed where, without my darling
I must sleep alone.

Senior Assistant Governor General Kuni’akira
