海上風波十二天
晴柔雨烈總渾然
搖籃稚子常含笑
晃板嬌妻小疰船
鷗鳥懸眉才滿尺
鯨魚出水已齊舷
長灘平陸無塵宇
一鳥一鯨盟比肩

Twelve days storms and heavy seas　
Kai⑴ laughs in his playpen hanging
on rough or gentle weather——It’s all one to him
Masa⑵ seasick, naps in the daytime
Seagull sails up, hangs there, a yard off my eye
A whale rolls up, doesn’t blow, just by the ship
A long land, a smooth land, clear sky
A whale
A gull
——To say hello.
