In the spring of the year following the early death of Onomiya Palace Minister, the cherry blossoms bloomed profusely, and he composed on the topic of voicing one’s thoughts a little.

桜花にほふものから露けきはこのめも物を思ふなるべし

sakuranbana niFoFu mono kara tuyukeki Fa kono me mo mono wo omoFunarubesi

Cherry blossoms Have such a glow, that Dewdrops fill My eyes as sadness Seems to fill my thoughts.
