Poem No. 74 from the Japanese poetry collection Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (see https://jti.lib.virginia.edu/japanese/hyakunin/hyakua.html). According to the information in https://100poets.com/2013/07/18/backfired-poem-number-74/, this poem was an entry at a poetry contest with the topic "unfulfilled love so strong that one even prays to the gods." Well, I guess it didn't work. .
