Nature

Oh! Fishers in your little boats

by Ono no Takamura d. 852

Translated by William N. Porter (1909) · From A Hundred Verses from Old Japan (Hyakunin Isshu), poem 11

Nature

Oh! Fishers in your little boats,
Quick! tell my men, I pray,
They’ll find me at Yasoshima,
I’m being rowed away
Far off across the bay.
