思ひ出でよ誰がかねごとの末ならむ昨日の雲のあとの山風

omoiideyo ta ga kanegoto no sue naran kinō no kumo no ato no yamakazeRemember well! Whose promises of love were they that brought this end? Fair clouds from yesterday blown away by the cold mountain's breath.(Shin Kokin Wakashū 14:1294)

Ietaka also has a personal collection called the Collection of Jeweled Songs (玉吟集, Gyokuginshū).
