さてもなほ問はれぬ秋の夕は山
雲吹く風も峰に見ゆらむ

Roma-ji: Sate mo nao towarenu aki no yū wa yama kumo fuku kaze mo mine ni miyuramu
English Translation: Even so, no one
comes to call this autumn eve
here on the mountain;
surely on the peak one sees
the wind that blows through the clouds.
Meaning: Even so, no one comes to visit me on this autumn evening in the mountains; surely one can see the wind visiting the clouds on the peak.
Commentary: Book Fourteen Love Poems IV 1316

Headnote: "On the topic 'Love in the Deep Mountains,' at a poetry contest at the Bureau of Poetry."
This is the fifth poem of the sequence of love poems from the contests at the Bureau of Poetry and at Minase. Even so, no one visits me on this autumn evening in the mountains, the speaker says, though surely the wind can be seen blowing through the clouds on the peak. According to the headnote, it was composed on the topic "Love in the Deep Mountains" at a poetry contest at the Bureau of Poetry.
The author, "Ietaka, Lord of the Court," is Fujiwara no Ietaka. A son of Fujiwara no Mitsutaka, he studied poetry under Fujiwara no Shunzei and became one of the compilers of the Shinkokinshū. He later reached the Junior Second Rank and was called the Mibu Second Rank.
"Love in the Deep Mountains" is a topic for the love of one secluded deep in the mountains, or love sung through the deep mountains.
In the main text, the fourth line reads "kumo fuku kaze mo," which does not match "kumo fuku kaze no" in the reading line. Here the main text is followed.

The first line, "sate mo nao," means "even so, still." It shows a heart that still resents, though it knows one living deep in the mountains can expect no visitors.
The second line, "towarenu aki no," means "of an autumn when no one visits."
The third line, "yū wa yama," means "the mountains on an autumn evening." Evening is the hour of waiting for a visitor, and here the mountain of the topic is set in place.
The fourth line, "kumo fuku kaze mo," means "even the wind that blows the clouds on the peak." Even the clouds have the wind to visit them.
In the last line, "mine ni miyuramu," "ramu" conjectures about the present: "it must be visible on the peak." The contrast—the clouds have a wind that visits them, but the speaker has no visitor—is entrusted to the distant scene of the peak.
