Kei’un Hyakushu 28

Cormorant fishing on the river.

水のあはのあだにながるゝおなじ瀬にきえぬよがはの篝火の影

mizu no awa no
ada ni nagaruru
onaji se ni
kienu yogawa no
kagaribi no kage
The foam upon the waters
Fleetingly flows by, yet
On the selfsame stream
Unfading, at night atop the river,
Falls the fishing lanterns’ light.
