GSS III: 89

A woman who lived in a rather dilapidated place, when she was feeling alone, picked some violets from her garden and sent them to a man saying:

我が宿にすみれの花の多かれば来宿る人やあると待つかな

a ga yado ni
sumire no Fana no
oFokareba
kiyadoru Fito ya
aru to matu kana
At my home
The violets bloom
In profusion, so
Wondering if you will come to stay
I am awaiting!
