Ōkata ni haru no kinureba harugasumi yomo no yamabe ni tachimichinikeri

おほかたに春の来ぬれば春霞
四方の山辺に立ち満ちにけり

Roma-ji: Ōkata ni haru no kinureba harugasumi yomo no yamabe ni tachimichinikeri
English Translation: Since everywhere now
springtime has made its coming,
the haze of spring
over hills in all four quarters
has risen and filled them all.
Meaning: Since spring has come to every place alike, the spring haze has risen and filled the hills on all four sides.
Commentary: Spring Poems 10

Headnote: "Haze"
The poet confirms that spring has come to all things alike through the spring haze filling the hills on every side. Not one spot but every hill in view is wrapped in haze, and this broad prospect expresses with ease the universality of spring's arrival.
In the Ruijū text the headnote reads "Composed on haze."

Line 1, ōkata ni ("everywhere"), means generally or throughout, showing that spring has come equally to all places.
Line 2: the realis form of the perfective nu with ba gives a settled condition—"since spring has come."
Line 3, harugasumi ("the haze of spring"), continues the hazy scenery that runs from poem 1.
Line 4: yomo ("all four quarters") means every direction, opening a wide view.
Line 5: keri conveys wonder at the haze filling everything. With 11 and 12 it forms a set of three haze poems, moving the focus from the hills on every side to Mount Katsuragi and then Mount Tsukuba, from the whole landscape to particular peaks.
