Roma-ji: Asayū ni mirume o kazuku ama dani mo urami wa taenu mono to koso kike
English Translation: Even fishers who
dive for the sea-pine's seaweed
morning and evening,
so I hear, will never cease
to gaze upon the shore in grief
Meaning: Even the fishers who dive for sea-pine weed morning and evening, I hear, never cease their gazing at the shore, their grievance; how much less can mine end, who never get to see you at all.
Commentary: Book Fifteen Love Poems V 943

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Composed by His Majesty as a love poem when he called for hundred-poem sequences"
A love poem from the same hundred-poem sequence as the five preceding poems. Even fishers who dive for sea-pine weed morning and evening, he says, never cease their "urami," so I hear. Pivoting "mirume" between the seaweed "sea-pine" and "a chance to see" a lover, and "urami" between "gazing at the shore" and "resentment," he implies that if even the fishers who hold sea-pine in their hands every day, that is, those who can always meet their lovers, never cease resenting, then his own resentment, who can never meet his beloved, can never end.
The author, "Fujiwara no Kiyosuke Ason," was the son of Fujiwara no Akisuke, Master of the Western Capital Office. Known as a scholar of poetics of the Rokujō Fujiwara house, he wrote treatises such as Fukuro Zōshi and Ōgishō. A poem of his is included in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu.
It shares "urami" with "urami o zo suru" in 950 of this book, both singing of "resentment" through the association with the "shore."

First line, "asayū ni": "morning and evening, always."
Second line, "mirume o kazuku": "mirume" pivots between "mirume," the sea-pine seaweed, and "mirume," "a chance to see" a lover. "Kazuku" means to dive into the water to gather.
Third line, "ama dani mo": "ama" are fishers of the sea, and "dani" an adverbial particle, "even the fishers." The fishers, who always have "mirume," are likened to those who can always meet their lovers.
Fourth line, "urami wa taenu": "urami" pivots between "ura mi," "looking at the shore," and "urami," "resentment." "Ama" and "ura" are related words. It shares "urami" with "urami o zo suru" in the last line of 950 of this book.
Fifth line, "mono to koso kike": the emphatic "koso" closes with the perfective "kike," "so I have heard."
