SKKS X: 903

When he was going toward the eastlands, he saw the smoke rising over Asama and composed:

しなのなるあさまのたけに立けぶりをちこち人のみやはとがめね

shinano naru
asama no take ni
tatsu keburi
ochikochi hito no
mi ya wa togamene
In Shinano
From the high peak of Asama
Smoke rises;
The folk about
See, yet find no fault, I wonder why…

Ariwara no Narihira
在原業平

KYS VII: 399

Composed in the conception of Love at the Poetry Competition at Lord [Fujiwara no] Saneyuki’s house.

いつとなく戀にこがるるわが身より立つや淺閒の煙なるらん

itu to naku
koFi ni kogaruru
wa ga mi yori
tatu ya asama no
keburi naruran
There is no end
To my yearning flames of love
From my breast
Rising as does Asama’s
Smoke, I feel.
