SZS VII: 526

Composed on the conception of showers at a lodging on a journey, when people were composing for the Poetry Match at the Sumiyoshi Shrine.

もしほ草しきつのうらのねざめにはしぐれにのみや袖はぬるらん

Salt-seaweed grasses grow
On the beach at Shikitsu where
On waking is it
By the showers alone
That my sleeves have dampened?

Monk Shun’e
