When Lord [Minamoto no] Tameyoshi was posted to Mikawa as Governor, the party dismounted at the crossing of Sunomata, and while gazing at Misaka in Shinano, Nôin composed this.
白雲の上より見ゆるあしひきの山の高嶺やみさかなるらん
| sirakumo no uFe yori miyuru asiFiki no yama no takane ya misaka naruran |
Clouds of white: Above them one sees, Leg-wearying, A high mountain peak: Misaka, I’d say. |
