Mandaishū XIV: 2826

From the Later Hundred Poem Sequence from the Reign of Former Emperor Horikawa.

たかせぶねのぼるほりえのみづあさみみくさがくれにかはづなくなり

takasebune
noboru horie no
mizu asami
mikusagakure ni
kawazu nakunari
Skips
Ascend the canal’s
Shallow waters;
Hidden deep within the grasses,
The frogs are singing.

Fujiwara no Akinaka
