SZS XIII: 793

Composed as a love poem, when he held a poetry match at his residence, when he was a Middle Captain.

わが恋はあまのかるもにみだれつつかわく間もなきなみのした草

wa ga koFi Fa
ama no karu mo ni
midaretutu
kawaku ma mo naki
nami no sitagusa
My love is as
The seaweed reaped by fisherfolk:
Ever confused, and
Dry for not a moment—
A grass growing ‘neath the waves.

Supernumerary Middle Counsellor Toshitada
