SKKS XVIII: 1743

Topic unknown.

うしといひて世をひたふるにそむかねば物おもひしらぬみとや成りなん

ushi to iite
yo o hitafuru ni
somukaneba
mono’omoi shiranu
mi to ya narinan
How hard it is, you say, but
This mundane world, entirely
You are unable to abandon, so
Gloomy thoughts unknown
To you seem, do they not?

Kiyowara no Motosuke
