A poem composed by Prince Ōtsu, weeping, at Iware Pond, when he was due to die.

百傳　磐余池尓　鳴鴨乎　今日耳見哉　雲隠去牟

百伝ふ磐余の池に鳴く鴨を今日のみ見てや雲隠りなむ

momo tutapu ipare no ike ni naku kamo wo kepu nomi mite ya kumogakurinamu

A hundred tales Told at Iware Pond By the crying ducks Do I see, today, at the last As I vanish beyond the clouds?
