Roma-ji: Ima hito no kokoro o Miwa no yama nite zo suginishi kata wa omoishiraruru
English Translation: Now that I have seen
your heart at Miwa's mountain,
there, where cedars stand,
the days that have passed away
come home to me at last
Meaning: Now that I have seen your heart, as at Mount Miwa with its cedars, the days gone by come home to me with full force.
Commentary: Book Eight Love Poems II 457

Having now seen how the beloved's heart has changed, the poet feels keenly the days that have passed, like the cedars of Mount Miwa. Weaving in Mount Miwa, a famous place in Yamato, and its famous cedars as pivot words, the poem looks back on a past love in the face of a changed heart.
The cedars of Mount Miwa have been sung as a sign of waiting for a beloved since the Kokinshū poem in which one living at the foot of Mount Miwa invites a visitor to the gate where the cedar stands.

First line, 'ima hito no', means now, your.
Second line, 'kokoro o Miwa no', is a pivot word in which miwa means both seeing the heart and Miwa, a famous place in Yamato, left in kana.
Third line, 'yama nite zo', means at that very mountain, the particle zo answered by ruru in the final line.
Fourth line, 'suginishi kata wa', is a pivot word in which sugi means both time passing and the cedars of Mount Miwa, left in kana. Kata means the days gone by.
Final line, 'omoishiraruru', means are brought home to me, closing with ruru, the attributive of the spontaneous ru, in answer to zo in the third line.
