Continuing the Shinkokinshû Love poems.
When the Lay Priest Regent had not come to see her for a long time, she composed this on seeing the water in a basin for washing her hair.
taenuru ka
kage dani mieba
toubeki ni
katami no mizu wa
mikusa inkeri

Is it all so hopeless?
Could I but see your face,
I would ask you, but
The water you have left behind
Is filled with water-weed.

The Mother of Major Captain of the Right, Michitsuna
SKKS XIV: 1239
