立ちながら来たりと逢はじ藤衣
脱ぎ捨てられむ身ぞと思へば

Roma-ji: Tachi nagara kitari to awaji fujigoromo nugisuteraren mi zo to omoeba
English Translation: Though you say you'd come
and stay standing, I'll not meet you,
for like mourning robes
of wisteria, cast off in time,
so will I be cast away
Meaning: Even if you come and stay standing, I will not meet you; for I think that, like the wisteria robes of mourning, I too am bound to be cast off one day.
Commentary: Book Seven Love Poems I 418

Answering a man in mourning who asked to call on her standing, she says that even if he comes standing she will not meet him, for like the wisteria robes of mourning that are cast off once mourning ends, she too is bound to be thrown away. The mourning robe carries a self that will be discarded as something temporary.
Some manuscripts name a daughter of Tachibana no Toshimune as the author and give the headnote 'Sent when someone in deep mourning said he would call, remaining standing.' It would then be a poem sent to a man in heavy mourning who proposed to visit without sitting down.

First line, 'tachi nagara', means while standing, a person in mourning calling without sitting down.
Second line, 'kitari to awaji', means even if you come I will not meet you, using the negative volitional ji. The poem breaks after the second line.
Third line, 'fujigoromo', is the robe of mourning, related to nugisute, cast off, in the fourth line. 'Karakoromo' in poem 360 in this book also sings of a robe.
Fourth line, 'nugisuteraren', means will be cast off, layering the shedding of mourning robes when mourning ends over her own being cast aside.
Final line, 'mi zo to omoeba', means since I think myself one, the realis with ba forming a definite condition.
