SKKS XIX: 1913

Composed when various people produced poems, when Imperial Princess Sōshi of the First Order visited Sumiyoshi.

すみよしの浜松が枝に風ふけば浪のしらゆふかけぬまぞなき

 sumiyoshi no
hamamatsu ga e ni
kaze fukeba
nami no shirayū
kakenu ma zo naki
At Sumiyoshi
When the branches of the beach-pines
Are blown by the wind,
The waves with white sacred streamers
Are not hung in no place at all.

Fujiwara no Michitsune
藤原道経
