What verse?

verse: Inishihe ni, kofuru tori kamo yuduru-ha no, nuwi no uhe yori, naki watari yuku
(imho):I wonder if the bird longs for exEmperor of my father. It flyed away with singing from the spring near the Imperial villa.
poet: Imperial Prince Yuge
in: 690 or 691

This prince may have been killed due to a Imperial princely struggle. So his nostalgia seems to speak of his isolation.
