Composed on the road, when it was springtime, and he was on his way from the countryside to the capital.
みわたせばみやこはちかくなりぬらんすぎぬる山はかすみへだてつ
| miwataseba miyako Fa tikaku narinuran suginuru yama Fa kasumi Fedatetu | When I gaze across, The capital closer Has become, it seems; The mountains I have passed Lie beyond the haze. |
