its timber would be even now
turning red with autumn leaves.

Commentary: Book Seventeen Miscellaneous Autumn Poems 1126

Headnote: "On going to Karasaki in autumn for a purification rite and seeing a boat go by"
The poet says that had the boat rowing along the shore still been a tree standing deep in the mountains, it would have turned to autumn colors by now. The headnote shows it was composed when he went to Karasaki in autumn for a purification rite and saw a boat go by. Picturing in the boat on the shore of Lake Biwa the tree that once stood in the mountains, it expresses his feeling at the coming of the season of autumn leaves.
From here, poems on autumn leaves follow one another.
The author is Priest Egyō, a monk who served as lecturer of Harima province and associated with the poets who gathered at the Kawara-in. He is counted among the Thirty-Six Immortal Poets of the middle ages.
