Composed for the Poetry Competition held at the Residence of Middle Councillor Toshitada.

くれなゐの濃染の衣うへにきむこひのなみたの色かくるやと

kurenawi no
kosome no koromo
uFe ni kimu
koFi no namida  no
iro kakuru ya to
In scarlet
Deeply dyed, a robe
Would I put on
That my tears of love’s
Hue be concealed!

Fujiwara no Akitsuna
