The plovers fly about;
Their calling cries
Start him awake on how many nights—
The barrier warden of Suma? |

Fly back and forth the plovers—
Their calling cries have
Wakened, on how many nights,
The wardens of Suma barrier? |

In Awaji Inlet
Coming and going are the boats:
So, too,
Accustomed to going back and forth are
The plovers from the beach! |

With word of spring,
Indeed, the haze has risen upon-
Until yesterday
Only glimpsed between the waves-
The mountains on Awaji Isle. |
