Composed for a folding screen with a picture of cherry trees blooming in the middle of the mountains.

山ざくらちらばをらなんをしげなみよしや人みず花のなたてに

yamazakura chiraba oranan oshigenami yoshi ya hito mizu hana no na tate ni

O, mountain cherry! If you scatter, then do it Without regret, for, Well, even should folk not see Your blossoms’ fame will spread still!
