Nature
The sound of ripples on the shore
Translated by William N. Porter (1909) · From A Hundred Verses from Old Japan (Hyakunin Isshu), poem 72
Nature
The sound of ripples on the shore
Ne’er fails at Takashi;
My sleeves all worn and wet with tears
Should surely prove to thee,
I, too, will constant be.
