From the Poetry Contest held by the Empress Dowager during the reign of the Kanpyō emperor.
浦近く立つ秋霧は藻塩焼く煙とのみぞ見えわたりける
| ura tikaku tatu akigiri Fa mosiFo yaku kemuri to nomi zo miewatarikeru | Close by the bay Rising autumn mist, as Seaweed salt burning Smoke simply Appears everywhere. |

秋霧の竜田の紅葉色深く時雨染めてやはひもさすらん
| akigiri no tatsuta no momiji iro fukaku shigure somete ya hai mo sasuran | In the autumn mists At Tatsuta are the ivy’s scarlet: Hues, deeply By the showers stained? Trailing, does it seem to stretch. |

六条院女房大進
秋霧は立たずもあらなむ佐保山の柞の紅葉よそながら見む
| akigiri Fa tatazu mo aranamu saFoyama no FaFaso no momidi yoso nagara mimu |
The autumn mists Seem not to arise On Saho Mountain The oaks’ yellow leaves In the distance I do see! |
