THE MINISTER MICHI-NOBU FUJIWARA

Although I know the gentle night
Will surely follow morn,
Yet, when I’m wakened by the sun,
Turn over, stretch and yawn—
How I detest the dawn!


Michi-nobu lived in the tenth century. He is shown in the illustration with his wife on the verandah, watching the day break.
