SKKS IX: 884

When the Monk Tōren went to Tsukushi.

はるばると君がわくべきしらなみをあやしやとまる袖にかけつる

harubaru to
kimi ga wakubeki
shiranami o
ayashi ya tomaru
sode ni kaketsuru
In a boundless stretch they
Part you from me, for sure:
These whitecaps, but
How strange-I stay here yet
They have broken upon my sleeves.

The Monk Shun’e
