Commentary
Book Five Celebration Poems 310

Longing so much to meet a reign of a thousand ages, the poet, while celebrating the reign, finds themselves blessing their own long life as well. The charm lies in drawing the celebration of the reign back to the poet's own self.
Where the poems before it celebrated the reign through bamboo, pines, cherries and the like, this one turns its eye to the poet's own self.
From poem 305 through poem 310 in this book come poems celebrating a thousand and ten thousand ages through such things as bamboo, the spring of Iwashimizu, pines, cherry blossoms and the poet's own self.

First line, 'onozukara', means naturally, of its own accord.
Second line, 'waga mi sae koso', means even my own self, the particle koso binding with the realis rure in the third line.
Third line, 'iwaharure', means I cannot help but bless, using the spontaneous ru. The poem breaks after the third line and the lower half is inverted.
Fourth line, 'tare ka chiyo ni mo', means who would not, to a thousand ages, a rhetorical question saying that everyone longs for them.
Final line, 'awamahoshisa ni', means from the longing to meet it, a noun formed from the desiderative mahoshi.
