後撰和歌集 巻第十 恋二
- 恋二] 恋歌二（行）
601
女のもとにはじめてつかはしける
Sent to a woman for the first time
藤原忠房朝臣
人を見て 思ふおもひも ある物を そらにこふるぞ はかなかりける
Seeing the person / the thoughts I think / are there, and yet / empty longing / is transient.
- おもひも] おもひは（八*）
- こふるぞ] こふるは（八*）
- はかなかりける] はかなかりけり（八*)
- 人を見て
- This may mean catching a glimpse of the woman (as is common in monogatari), or it may refer to the couple spending a night together.
--
Tadafusa has either spent one night with the woman or just glimpsed her -- he has those memories, but even so his current position, where he has to long for her with no hope of meeting, is difficult to tolerate. Kifune sees a series of wordplays that conceal a phrase 陽もあるものを、空に...降る.

壬生忠岑
ひとりのみ おもへばくるし 如何して おなじ心に 人ををしへむ
It hurts me to think alone (1-2) / how can I / teach you the same heart (4-5)?
- おもへば] おもふは（ハイ・標・新）
- 如何して
- Every other text reads いかにして, so it's likely that Teika intended 如何 to be read as いかに. いかにして....む is "How can I..." or perhaps "I want somehow to..."

The prose prefaces in the Tadamine Collection version of this poem give a different possible context; with the context carried over from the previous poem it sounds like Tadamine has only seen or heard of the woman and is now sending a message for the first time. It was common in such introductory letters to already be talking of how much you were burning with love for the other person.
Perhaps this is based on the anonymous KKS 541:
- よそにして恋ふればくるし入れ紐の同じ心にいざむすびてむ
- It hurts me to long for you from afar. Let's pledge our love and be together like beads on a string.
Other sources:
- 古今和歌六帖２６３０・あひおもはぬ. Also ２１３８・ざふの思ひ. First line ひとすれず (only in 2138).
- 忠岑集１５７. Prose preface ある女の、いみじう本意なくはべりしかば(IV) or ある女のいみじう心つよくはべりしかば(II).
