Hyakunin Isshu No.16 of Yoga Promenade
The poet is Chunagon Yukihira. Chunagon is his position. His name is Ariwara-no Yukihira.
In the poem, the author is saying farewell to a friend of his before departing to the country of Inaba. Then, he describes the mountain in Inaba, and pine trees on it. The scene changes with the word Matsu, which has double-meaning (pine tree/waiting). The author states he will return soon if he hears the friend is waiting for him. The change of the scene expresses the thought of a person leaving his home.
