When Minamoto no Sane left her, saying that he was going to take a hot spring cure in Tsukushi, she composed this at Yamazaki, regretting their parting.

いのちだに心にかなふ物ならばなにか別のかなしからまし

inoti wo dani kokoro ni kanaFu mono naraba nani ka wakare no kanasikaramasi

If life at least As we wished Would go Why, then, should parting Seem so sad?
