Looks like it might be one of Emperor Meiji's poems. Here is a list of some of the poems. Might be one of those:

No way can I read anything else — it’s written in that flowing style used for poetry.

I don’t recognize any of the poems — have been concentrating on what kooks like み、あ, and れ that are near the top line; also the final や.
The only poem ending in や is Number 5
5. 雨だりに窪める石を見ても知れ かたき業とて思ひすてめや
(をりにふれて)
Even the rain drops can make a hole in a hard stone so don’t give up easily though it may seem difficult! (At times)

Right there with you, Guy. I was culling the hiragana as well. Will only take several more lifetimes to crack that style of writing!
