Composed in the Second year of Jōryaku (1079) at the Palace poetry competition, on the spirit of Felicitation.
君がよはひさしかるべしわたらひやいすゞのかはのながれたえせで
| kimi ga yo wa hisashikarubeshi watarai ya isuzu no kawa no nagare taesede |
My Lord’s reign Will last eternally, I’m sure; as At Watarai The Isuzu River Flows on, unceasing. |
