Going to her house when Ise was living away from home, he attached a poem to some autumn leaves and sent it to her.

人住まず荒れたるやどを來て見れば今ぞ木の葉は錦織りける

Fito sumazu aretaru yado wo kite mireba ima zo ko no Fa Fa nisiki worikeru

She lives no more At this overgrown house I have come to gaze upon, but Now, the leaves upon the trees Weave a fine brocade.

The Biwa Minister of the Right, [Fujiwara no Nakahira (875-945)]
