2nd Year of Tempyô-Shôhô [750], Third Month First Day, an evening in springtime: Two poems composed while gazing at the blossoms of the peach and damson trees in my garden.
春の園紅にほふ桃の花下照る道に出で立つ娘子
| paru nö sönö kurenawi nipopu momo nö pana sita teru miti ni idetatu wotöme |
A springtime garden Glows scarlet With peach blossom And on the path, lit with colour Appears a maiden. |
