When he was talking to someone in secret, other people in the house created a disturbance, so he returned home and sent this to her:
曉と何か言ひけむ別るれば夜ゐもいとこそわびしかりけれ
akatuki to nani ka iFikemu wakarureba yowi mo ito koso wabisikarikere |
About the dawn, What can I say? But parting At night is far more Painful. |
Tsurayuki
