On Abe Island's beaches

by Yamabe no Akahito

On Abe Island's beaches
Where comorants dwell
Waves pound
Never ceasing at this time
I think on Yamato.

When I Went Out

To the fields in springtime

To my good friend

The sturdy men

The autumn wind

Since olden times

On the islands off the coast

On Misago Beach
