Ariwara no Narihira Ason
Chihayaburu
Kamiyo mo kikazu
Tatsuta-gawa
Kara kurenai ni
Mizu kukuru to wa
Ariwara no Narihira
Even when the gods
Held sway in the ancient days,
I have never heard
That water gleamed with autumn red
As it does in Tatta's stream
(comment)
Narihira expressed the beautiful patterns with autumnal red leaves that flow on the water of the river.
