高砂の尾上の萩を折りつれば鹿の立どやうすくなるらむ
| takasago no onoe no hagi o oritsureba shika no tachido ya usukunaruramu | When on Takasago Peak, the bush-clover I pick, Does the stag’s resting place Seem to fade away? |

[i] Motozane-shū (62) with the headnote ‘Bush clover’ (hagi 萩); the poem is also included in Fubokushō (XI: 4170), attributed to Motozane, with the headnote ‘Composed for the “Poetry Match held by the Empress’ Court Ladies” kōshin, night of the 13th day of the Ninth Month, Tentoku 3’. This is erroneous, as kōshin actually fell on the 18th of that month, as indicated by the headnote to poem (1) in Motozane-shū.
