Original by Empress Taiken's Horikawa, an attendant of the imperial consort who was the mother of Sutoko (#77); the origin of the use-name Horikawa ("moat river") is unknown. Whose feelings she doesn't know will last is not specified, but that mo seems to be additive ("as well") rather than just emphatic ("even"), making her worried about another's affections. Another poem where the "things" she thinks about are clearly the other person.nagakaran
