Composed on the conception of the beginning of spring, when hundred poem sequences were ordered to commemorate the reign of former Emperor Horikawa.

うちなびき春はきにけり山河の岩閒の氷けふやとくらむ

utinabiki Faru Fa kinkeri yama kaFa no iFama no koFori keFu ya tokuramu

Trailing in, Spring has come; In the mountain streams Between the rocks the ice May melt today, I think.
