SKKS XIII: 1189

Sent on the morning that the Sanjō Regent Junior Consort was presented at court.

あさぼらけおきつる霜の消えかへりくれまつほどの袖を見せばや

asaborake
okitsuru shimo no
kiekaeri
kure matsu hodo no
sode o miseba ya
With dawn’s first light
The fallen frost
Vanishes away;
Waiting for the evening, for
Then would I show you my sleeves…

Former Emperor Kazan
