KYS VII: 379

Sent to a woman who had fled from him.

恋すてふ門司の関守いく度かわれ書きつらむ心づくしに

koFisu teFu
mozi no sekimori
iku tabi ka
ware kakituramu
kokoro dukusi ni
Love – with that
Word I am warden of the barrier at Moji;
How many times have
I written it?
To the utter exhaustion of my heart!

Fujiwara no Akisuke (1090-1155)
藤原顕輔

よもすがら富士の高嶺に雲きえて清見が関にすめる月かな

yomosugara
Fudi no takane ni
kumo kiete
kiyomi ga seki ni
sumeru tuki kana
All through this night
From the mighty peak of Fuji
Have the clouds cleared, and
Above the barrier of Kiyomi
Brightly shines the moon.
