YOSHITAKA FUJIWARA

FUJIWARA NO YOSHITAKA

Kimi ga tame
Oshikarazarishi
Inochi sae
Nagaku mogana to
Omoi keru kana.

DEATH had no terrors, Life no joys,
Before I met with thee;
But now I fear, however long
My life may chance to be,
’Twill be too short for me!

Yoshitaka died in the year 974. See verse No. 18 for a note of the Fujiwara family.
