SKKS XIV: 1320

From the Poetry Contest in 1500 Rounds.

きえわびぬうつろふ人の秋のいろに身をこがらしのもりの白露

kiewabinu
utsurou hito no
aki no iro ni
mi o kogarashi no
mori no shiratsuyu
I am too grieved to die!
My fickle love showed me
She’d had enough with Autumn’s colours;
Now, I yearn for her as the bitter wind
Drenches the forest with silven dewfall.

Sada’ie
