KKS 51
From My Wiki
山桜わが見に来れば春霞峯にも尾にも立ち隠しつゝ
- In the base text this poem is inserted in the upper margin above the preface for the next poem. No other text lacks this poem, so this was likely a copying mistake based on both 50 and 51 starting with 山.
- It is difficult to tell whether the use of 身 in the base text instead of 見 indicates a difference in interpretation by the copyist. I have not seen a commentary (ancient or modern) that interprets this as 我が身に来れば so I am inclined to think that the 身 is simply a 変体仮名 form.
- Takeoka notes that 山桜 is written without voicing in the 万葉集, but he thinks there is insufficient evidence to change the traditional voiced やまざすら reading.
