From the poetry match at Tsurayuki’s house in the Second Month, Tengyō 2 – Love in the midst of summer.

ふりくらす五月の空のながめにはねのみなかれて人ぞ恋しき

furikurasu satsuki no sora no nagame ni wa ne nomi nakarete hito zo koishiki

Dark with showers The Fifth Month’s skies Endlessly do fill my gaze, Doing nothing but weep For I love her so!
