世中のはかなきことを思けるおりにきくの花／を見てよみける つらゆき／ 秋の菊にほふ限はかさしてむ花よりさきとしらぬわか／身を／ しらきくの花をよめる／ 凡河内みつね／ 心あてにおらはやおらむはつしものをきまとはせる白菊の／花／ これさたのみこの家のうたあはせのうた／ よみ人しらす／ 色かはる秋のきくをはひとゝせにふたゝひにほふ花を[と]こそ／見れ／ 仁和寺にきくの花めしける時にうたそへて／たて／[まつれとおほせられければ、よみてたてまつりける]

KKS V: 277 On white chrysanthemums. - Ōshikōchi no Mitsune. if you want to pluck / one go ahead and try white / blossoms of autumn / chrysanthemums camouflaged / by the first coating of frost
KKS V: 278 From the poetry contest held at the residence of Prince Koresada. -Anonymous. dressed now in rusty / hues autumn chrysanthemums / delight the viewer / twice with the beauty of their / full bloom and their faded charms
KKS V: 279 Ordered to compose a poem to present with flowers to the former tenno at Ninnaji Temple. [they have a time of / glory other than fall’s / peak chrysanthemums / charm us again as they wilt— / for then their colors deepen] (Rodd 2017, pp. 126-127)
KKS V: 276 Composed at a time he was thinking of how piteous was the world of men, and saw a chrysanthemum flower. -Tsurayuki. Chrysanthemums in Autumn: / While they shine / I’ll wear them in my hair, / For sooner than the flowers’ / May come my ending. (http://www.wakapoetry.net/kks-v-276/)
KKS V: 277 Composed on white chrysanthemums. -Ōshikōchi no Mitsune. I can but guess, / When wondering which to pluck- / First frosts / Upon them-how perplexing are these / White chrysanthemum blooms! (http://www.wakapoetry.net/kks-v-277/)
KKS V: 278 A poem from the poetry competition at Prince Koresada’s house. -Anonymous. With their changing hues, / Autumn chrysanthemums have / Within a single year / Two shining moments / In full bloom, or so it seems to me. (http://www.wakapoetry.net/kks-v-278/)
KKS V: 279 When chrysanthemums were called for at the Ninna-ji, with a command that a poem be attached to them, he composed this and presented it.
