When Her Majesty was paying a visit to Yoshino, Prince Yuge sent this poem to Princess Nukata.

いにしへに恋ふる鳥かも弓絃葉の御井の上より鳴き渡り行く

inisipe ni kopuru tori kamo yudurupa no miwi no upe yori nakiwatariyuku

In bygone days Was this the bird we did love so? That now over Yuzuruha’s Sacred springs Crosses in song…

Prince Yuge
