Composed on ‘love in the evening’.
もしほやくあまのいそやのゆふけぶりたつなもくるし思たえなで
| moshio yaku ama no iso ya no yû keburi tatsu na mo kurushi omoi taenade |
Seaweed-salt burning, From fisher-folks’ huts upon the rocky shore In the evening smoke Rises-painful to lose my good name, yet I cannot bear this longing. |
Fujiwara no Hideyoshi
