Uma namete miyoshinogawa o mimaku hori uchikoe kite zo taki ni asobitsuru

馬並めてみ吉野川を見まく欲り
うち越え来てぞ瀧に遊びつる

Roma-ji: Uma namete miyoshinogawa o mimaku hori uchikoe kite zo taki ni asobitsuru
English Translation: Riding side by side,
longing to see the river
of fair Yoshino,
over the hills we came
and by the rapids made merry
Meaning: Riding side by side, longing to see the Yoshino River, we crossed the hills and came here, and took our pleasure by the rushing rapids.
Commentary: Book Seven Miscellaneous Poems 1104

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "On Rivers"
Riding side by side with companions, the poet crossed the hills to see the Yoshino River and enjoyed himself beside its rushing rapids. The poem carries the pleasure of an outing and admiration for the splendor of the Yoshino River.
It continues the Yoshino River theme from the preceding poem; where that poem expressed the thrill of an unexpected sight, this one is a poem of a pleasure trip made out of the wish to see the river. The poet is unknown.

The first line, "Riding side by side," shows friends setting out together. Poem 1148 in this book has the same first line.
The second line, "of fair Yoshino," names the Yoshino River with the honorific "mi."
The third line, "longing to see the river," uses "mimaku," the nominalized form of "mimu," with "hori," to wish.
In the fourth line, "over the hills we came," the particle "zo" is answered by the attributive "tsuru" in the final line.
In the final line, "taki" means rushing rapids. It closes with the attributive "tsuru" in response to "zo."
