The following poem by him was included as No. 39 in Fujiwara no Teika's Ogura Hyakunin Isshu:

Japanese text[3] Romanized Japanese[4] English translation[5]
浅茅生の
小野の篠原
しのぶれど
あまりてなどか
人の恋しき
Asajiu no
ono no shinohara
shinoburedo
amarite nado ka
hito no koishiki
Though I scarcely show
my secret feelings
like those few reeds
sprouting unnoticed
in low bamboo,
they are too much
for me to hide.
Why do I love you so?
