Nintoku Poem

[Rick J.]

I have recently obtained a scroll which appears to reference Emperor Nintoku. I believe that it is from the WWII era. I have tried to translate some of the Kanji, but I am a neophite in regards to the Japanese language.
The first line references Emporer Nintoku, from what I can tell, but then I am out of my league after that.
I am hoping to translate the poem on the Scroll. Does anyone know of any online information showing the kanji and english translation of Emporer Nintoku's Land View Poem? I found 1 reference, but the remaining kanji do not appear similar enough.
If not, I would greatly appreciate any translations. I have posted a photo of the scroll, for those that would like to help.
Thank you all in advance.
Rick

nintoku's weak Point was a woman relation

Exactly, there are two pieces. The first one is Emperor Nintoku's and the second one is Empress Iwanohime's.

Emperor Nintoku's poem:
山が田にまける青菜も yamagatani makeru aonamo
吉備人と kibibito to
ともにしつめば tomonishi tsumeba
たのしくもあるか tanoshikumo aruka

Empress Iwanohime's poem:
ありつつも君をば待たむ aritsutsumo kimioba matamu
うちひびく uchihibiku
わが黒髪に霜のおくまでに waga kurokamini shimono okumadeni

Nintoku was a playboy and loved many women.
His poem was dedicated to his lover Kurohime, not to Iwanohime.
Nintoku and Kurohime were picking leaf vegetables together for preparing their meals, in their hiding place from Iwanohime.
He said,
"Picking leaves with Kibibito (=person from Kibi-country=Kurohime), in a mountain fields, it's nice for me!"

At that time, Iwanohime was waiting for her man, alone in the palace.
She said,
"I'm here waiting for you, until my beautiful black hair turns to white like frost."

Don't you think such romantic people lived in a ancient Japan?
