Composed as a poem on sweet flags.
五月雨にぬれぬれひかむ菖蒲草ぬまの岩垣浪もこそ越せ
| samidare ni nurenure Fikamu ayamegusa numa no iFagaki nami mo koso kose |
In the constant drizzling rain, Soaked, let us pick Sweet-flags; Over the stony border of the marsh Waves are breaking. |
The Regent and Former Minister of the Right [Fujiwara no Kanezane]
