A poem composed in reply to His Majesty by Tachibana sukune Naramaro.
奥山之 真木葉淩 零雪乃 零者雖益 地尓落目八方
| okuyama no maki no pa sinogi puru yuki no puri pa masu tomo tuti ni otime ya mo | Deep within the mountains Evergreen leaves are weighed down With falling snow, but Even should it keep on falling Will it ever tumble to the ground? |
