wind you would send your heart
to go along with me,
then I too would take my leave
the way the haze departs
Meaning: If you will send your heart along with the unseen wind to keep me company, then I will take my leave, as the haze departs.
Commentary: Book Thirteen Love Poems V 930

Headnote: "Reply."
The poet says that if he will send his heart along with the unseen wind, then she will take her leave like the haze. Taking up the wind and haze of the preceding poem, she answers that if he entrusts his heart to the wind and sends it after her, she can set out without fear.
It is the reply to the preceding poem, 929. Where that poem asked who but the wind would visit, she answers with a condition, if he will send his heart along with that wind, and the two share the words haze and wind to form an exchange.
The poet, Ise, was a daughter of Fujiwara no Tsugukage. She served Empress Onshi, consort of Emperor Uda, and won the emperor's favor. One of the Thirty-Six Poetic Immortals, her "naniwagata mijikaki ashi no fushi no ma mo" is included in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu.

The first line, "Me ni mienu," means "unseen by the eye," the nature of the wind.
The second line, "kaze ni kokoro o," means "your heart on the wind," taking up "kaze" in the preceding poem.
The third line, "taguetsutsu," means "letting it accompany," "taguu" meaning to send something along with another.
The fourth line, "yaraba kasumi no," means "if you send it, then the haze's," with "ba" marking a supposition. It takes up "harugasumi" in the preceding poem.
The last line, "wakare koso seme," means "I would make my parting," with "me," the realis of the volitional "mu," closing the "koso."
