GSS XII: 846

Sent when her affair with Taira no Kaneki was finally coming to an end.

秋かぜの吹くにつけてもとはぬかなをぎの葉ならばおとはしてまし

akikaze no
Fuku ni tuketemo
toFanu kana
ogi no Fa naraba
woto Fa sitemasi
‘I’ve had enough!’—the autumn wind
Might reveal with a gust, but
It pays no visit here!
Were I a frond of silver grass
A rustle I would have it make.
