Sanekata Shū 106

Thinking of someone whom I had known since childhood.

ふたばより三嶋の松をむすばむと波うちいでゝえこそいはれね

Futaba yori
misima no matu wo
musubamu to
nami utiidete
e koso iFarene
Since ’twas a seedling
Around yon oft glimpsed pine on Mishima Isle
Have I wanted to entwine; but
The rising waves
Leave me bereft of words.
