From a Fifty Poem Sequence on the Moon.
むしあけのせとのしほひのあけがたになみの月かげとほざかるなり
mushiake no
seto no shiohi no
akegata ni
nami no tsukikage
tōzakaru nari | At Mushiake
Strait the receding tide
At dawn,
The waves carrying the moonlight
Into the distance. |

Topic unknown.
ゆらのとをわたるふな人かぢをたえ行へもしらぬ恋のみちかな
yura no to o
wataru funabito
kaji o tae
yukue mo shiranu
koi no michi kana | In the Yura strait
A ferryman a’crossing
Rudderless
I know not whither bound am I
On this path of love! |
