Tametadake shodo hyakushu 675

Before a shrine.

すみよしのまつのしづえにいくちよかなみのしらゆふかけてきぬらん

sumiyoshi no
matsu no shizue ni
ikuchiyo ka
nami no shirayū
kakete kinuran
At Sumiyoshi
The pines’ lower branches
For how many thousand ages
With the waves’ white sacred streamers
Have come to be hung.

Fujiwara no Tadanari
藤原忠成
