憂きわれを寂しがらせよ秋の寺
uki ware o sabishigarase yo aki no tera
uki ware wo sabishigaraseyo aki no tera
ukiware o / sabishi garaseyo / aki no tera
uki ware o / sabishi gara seyo / aki no tera

sunk in sorrow,
make me feel loneliness:
temple in autumn

There is also a waka by Saigyo about the loneliness

山里にこはまた誰を呼子鳥独り住まんと思ひしものを

yamazato ni kowa mata tare o yobukodori
hitori nomi koso sumamu to omou ni

or another version:

tou hito mo omoitaetaru yamazato no
sabishisa nakuba sumiukaramashi

Hoping no longer
for any visitors—
in this mountain village,
were there no loneliness,
dwelling here would be misery
Tr. Barnhill


yobukodori 呼子鳥 another name for the mountain cuckoo
or all the birds calling in springtime.

at the temple I borrow an old umbrella
looking almost like a ghost
