Poem No. 61 from the Japanese poetry collection Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (see https://https://100poets.com/2012/03/30/happy-spring-everyone-poem-number-61/). Backstory: "According to Lady Ise’s own diary, she had to present a poem on the fly to the Bishop from the ancient capital of Nara and its Buddhist institutions, who had brought a lovely eight-petaled cherry blossom as a gift."
