Nature
Between Awaji and the shore
Translated by William N. Porter (1909) · From A Hundred Verses from Old Japan (Hyakunin Isshu), poem 78
Nature
Between Awaji and the shore
The birds scream in their flight;
Full oft they’ve made the Suma Guard
Toss through a sleepless night,
Until the morning light.
