Composed for a folding screen of the twelve months, during the Engi period.
夏はつる扇と秋の白露といづれかまづはおかむとすらん
natsu hatsuru ōgi to aki no shiratsuyu to izure ka mazu wa okamu to suran | With the end of summer My fan or the autumn’s Silver dewdrops Which will be the first To fall, I wonder! |
Mibu no Tadamine
