Composed on the conception of the end of Spring, when He composed a hundred-poem sequence.

花は根に鳥は古巣に歸るなり春のとまりをしる人ぞなき

Fana Fa ne ni tori Fa Furusu ni kaFeru nari Faru no tomari wo siru Fito zo naki

Blossoms to the roots, and Birds to their nests of old, Return; Where Spring’s lodging lies Knows no one at all.

Emperor Sutoku
