Miscellaneous Poems 658
Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "On the theme of celebration through the pine"
Spring haze rises over Mount Tatsuta as if to wrap the thousand years to come, and the wind blows in the pines. Spring haze and pine wind depict a calm and lasting reign.
The Ruijū text places it among the "poems found in other and printed texts."
Line 1 means "of the future," echoing yukusue mo at the start of 656.
Line 2 means "wrapping a thousand years," kome in keeping with haze that "envelops"; it uses the same word as komoreru in the preceding poem.
Line 3 means "spring haze."
Line 4 means "on Mount Tatsuta" in Yamato, tatsu meaning both the haze "rising" and the name Tatsuta.
Line 5 means "the pine wind blows," zo concluded by fuku; it pairs with "the spring wind blows" at the end of the next poem, 659.
