Искусствоед
The Emperor Uda
Like a wave crest
Escaped and frozen,
One white egret
Guards the harbor mouth.

(from "One Hundred Poems from the Japanese)

transl. by Kenneth Rexroth

Ashi tazu no
Tateru kawa be wo
Fuku kaze ni
Yosete kaeramu
Nami ka zo omou

This poem is also attributed to Ki no Tsurayuki
