When the Ise Virgin Junior Consort had yet to leave, he attached this to some cherry blossom and sent it to her.

吹く風の音にききつつさくら花めには見えずも過ぐる春かな

fuku kaze no oto ni kikitsutsu sakurabana me ni wa miezu mo suguru haru kana

In the gusting wind’s Whispers will I ever hear My cherry blossom, though My eyes behold her not As spring passes by…

Composed by the Tenryaku Emperor
