After Izumi Shikibu had been abandoned by Michisada, Akazome Emon heard that almost immediately Prince Atsumichi had begun to visit her, and sent her this:
うつろはでしばしゝのだのもりをみよかへりもぞするくずのうら風
| utsurowade shibashi shinoda no mori o miyo kaeri mo zo suru kuzu no ura kaze |
Turn not! And For a while on Shinoda Forest rest your gaze! For it may return again: The breeze ‘neath the arrowroot leaves. |

くずの葉にうらみにかへる夢のよをわすれがたみの野べの秋風
| kuzu no ha ni urami ni kaeru yume no yo o wasure gatami no nobe no aki kaze |
The arrowroot leaves Show their undersides–in despite I return To a dream–the world of lovers– So difficult to forget– In the breeze across the fields. |
