もろともに あはれとおもへ 山ざくら 花よりほかに しる人もなし
ちる桜を見て こし方を思ひ 流るヽ水に行末をわぶよし 花ハ根にかへる共 ゆく水の戻らぬ事をいかにせん 尾上に妻こふ鹿ならで 川をへだてし妹と背ハ かさヽぎの橋の中絶へて 銀河の岸に彳し 二ツの星の様とやいハん

NOTES:
[1] Much of Bigelow's collection of Asian art was formed during his residence in Japan between 1882 and 1889, although he also made acquisitions in Europe and the United States. Bigelow deposited many of these objects at the MFA in 1890 before donating them to the Museum's collection at later dates.
