Iro no Hama種の濱
1Iro no Hama — an autumn shore better than Suma
十六日空晴たればますほの小貝ひろはんと種の濱に舟を走らす海上七里有り天屋何某といふもの破籠小竹筒などこまやかにしたゝめさせ僕あまた舟に取のせて追風時の間に吹つけぬ濱はわづかなる蜑の小家にて侘しき法花寺有りこゝに茶をのみ酒を煖めて夕昏の淋しき感にたへたり 寂しさや須磨に勝たる濱の秋 浪の間や小貝もましる萩の塵
On the sixteenth the sky was clear, and wishing to gather the little masuho shells I ran a boat out to Iro no Hama. There are seven ri over the sea. A man called Tenya something had a box lunch and bamboo flasks of wine and the rest carefully made ready, and put a number of servants aboard the boat, and a following wind blew us there in a moment.
On the shore there were only a few small huts of fisherfolk, and a poor temple of the Hokke sect. Here we drank tea and warmed wine, and bore the lonely feeling of the falling dusk.
Loneliness — / an autumn shore better than Suma
Between the waves — / small shells too are mixed in the bush clover litter
