SKKS III: 271

When she presented a hundred poem sequence:

なくせみのこゑもすゞしきゆふぐれに秋をかけたるもりの下露

naku semi no
koe mo suzushiki
yūgure ni
aki o kaketaru
mori no shitatsuyu
The singing cicadas
Call, too, in the cool
Of evening,
Evokes the autumn, as
Dewdrops beneath the forest boughs.

[Lady] Sanuki of the Nijō Palace
