Poem No. 97 from the Japanese poetry collection Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (see https://jti.lib.virginia.edu/japanese/hyakunin/hyakua.html). The poet's love for a no-show lover burns like the boiling of seawead to extract moshio salt. Interestingly, the translations in the two different sources give different perspectives: In the first source, the translation is written from a man's perspective; in the second source, https://100poets.com/2014/03/03/burning-with-longing-poem-97/, a woman pines for her lover. Well, the protagnoist of this dream could be either a man or a woman.
