ふみつかはしける女のはゝの、「こひをしこひば」といへりけるが、年ごろへにければつかはしける

The mother of a girl he had been sending letters to said "If you love..." but then more than a year passed, so he sent this.

たねはあれど 逢事かたき いはのうへの 松にて年を ふるはかひなし

There is a seed, but meeting is as difficult as the rock, and like the pine I wait for no effect.
