wotome ha 35
omohi-midarete
kimi matsu to
ura-gohi su nari
kokoro-gushi
iza mi ni yukana 40
koto ha tanashire!
1-12 For the comfort of Yakamochi; 13-20 Ikenushi’s sympathy; 21-38 sympathy of the sato-hito; 39 to end, Ikenushi’s sick friend shall still enjoy the beauties of spring.
16 waga se is Yakamochi, so too kimi in 37.
39 kokoro-gushi is not here kokoro-kurushi, but = kokoro ni natsukashimaruru, thou art heart-beloved.…
