A New Year’s Day poem, composed on the Hie shrine.
さゞなみやしがのはまゝつふりにけりたがよにひけるねの日なるらん
sazanami ya shiga no hamamatsu furinikeri ta ga yo ni hikeru ne no hi naruran |
Where the wavelets strike On Shiga beach the pine trees Have grown old; Whose reign might have seen you plucked On a new year’s day, I wonder. |
