THE FIRST ADVISER OF STATE TSUNE-NOBU
DAI-NAGON TSUNE-NOBU
Yūsareba
Kado-da no inaba
Otozurete
Ashi no maroya ni
Aki kaze zo fuku.

And would that I could catch
Its message, as it whistles through
The rushes in the thatch
And leaves of my rice-patch.
Tsune-nobu, a member of the Minamoto family, was famous as a man of letters in the eleventh century, and died in the year 1096.
