ひとり見まうき花盛りかな

Roma-ji: Morotomo ni orishi haru nomi koishikute hitori mimauki hanazakari kana
English Translation: Only for the spring
when we broke the boughs together
do I long, and so
I have no heart to see alone
these blossoms in their full bloom.
Meaning: I long only for the spring when we broke off the blossoms together, and so I have no heart to look at them alone in their full bloom.
Commentary: Book Sixteen Miscellaneous Spring Poems 1039

Headnote: "Sent with a branch of the blossoms the following spring to someone who had been with the poet where the cherries bloomed, but who was now elsewhere"
The poet says that longing only for the spring when they broke off blossoms together, he finds no heart to look at the blossoms in full bloom alone. The headnote shows it was sent with a branch of the blossoms to someone who had been with the poet where the cherries bloomed, but who the following spring was elsewhere. Facing the same blossoms, the poet speaks of the loneliness of viewing them alone and conveys longing for the one who has gone.

First line, "morotomo ni," means "together," sharing the same line with the first line of the next poem, 1040, "morotomo ni."
Second line, "orishi haru nomi," means "only the spring when we broke them off," with "shi" the attributive form of the past auxiliary "ki."
Third line, "koishikute," means "I long for."
Fourth line, "hitori mimauki," means "I have no heart to see alone," with "mauki" the attributive form of the auxiliary "maushi," expressing reluctance. It pairs with "morotomo ni" in the first line.
Final line, "hanazakari kana," means "this full bloom," with "kana" exclamatory.
