GYS VI: 918

Composed on plovers.

沖つ潮指出の磯の浜千鳥風寒からし夜半に友呼ぶ

oki tsu shio
sashide no iso no
hama chidori
kaze samukarashi
yowa ni tomo yobu
From the offing the tides
Strike the shore at Sashide;
On the beach plovers,
Chilled by the wind
Call for their mates at midnight.

Supernumerary Middle Counsellor [Fujiwara no] Nagakata (1139-1191)
藤原長方

Plovers and a sand piper.
