It is sad, the poem says, that after heaping up grief for one's mother, one should now lie beneath the funeral fire. It speaks from the place of a child who leaves the world before a parent, of the sorrow of causing a mother to grieve.
Joining nageki, grief, with nageki, firewood, and omoi, longing, with hi, fire, and tying them to tsumite, piling, and shita, beneath, as associated words, the poem overlays the scene of a cremation. The feeling of a child dying before a mother also appears in 619 in this book.
