A poem from when Empress Naka had gone to the hot-springs in Kii.
君が代もわがよも知るやいはしろのをかの草ねをいざ結びてな
| kimi ga yo mo wa ga yo mo siru ya ipasiro no woka no kusane wo iza musubite na |
For my Lord’s life And for mine, too-we govern Iwashiro’s Hills: the grasses’ roots Let us weave together. |
Empress Naka
