When Lord [Fujiwara no] Nakahira, whom she had known and been meeting for some time, became more distant towards her, she decided to go to her father, the Governor of Yamato, and, composing this, sent it to Nakahira:

みわの山いかにまち見む年ふともたづぬる人もあらじと思へば

miwa no yama ika ni matimimu tosi Fu tomo tadunuru Fito mo arazi to omoFeba

On the mount of Miwa Why should I wait? Years may pass, yet Would you come enquiring- I think not!
