SZS VIII: 522

Composed saying he would pass the barrier at Meeting Hill at night.

あふ坂の関には人もなかりけりいは井の水のもるにまかせて

aFusaka no
seki ni Fa Fito mo
nakarikeri
iFawi no midu no
moru ni makasete
At Meeting Hill’s
Barrier of folk
There is no sign—
To the water from the rocky spring’s
Guarded dripping is it entrusted…

Hōribe no Narinaka
