KKS XIII: 623

Topic unknown.

見るめなきわが身をうらとしらねばやかれなであまのあしたゆくくる

miru me naki
wa ga mi wo ura to
siraneba ya
karenade ama no
asi tayuku kuru
No exchange of glances-a barren beach-
How I hate myself for it!
Doesn’t he realise it,
Heedless of distance, the fisherman,
Coming and going on weary legs?

Ono no Komachi
