Konnichiwa seroni-san!
I think this poem was made to be based on a poem originally written by Saigyo, a poet from the Kamakura period .
The rightmost column represents the title.
秋深き山行:あきふかきさんこう:Aki Fukaki Sankou:Autumn mountain hiking
The following is the text of the poem.
しるべの:Shirubeno:signpost
たてぬれば:Tatenureba:set it up
かはらすや:Kawarasuya:don't get lost
The text up to this point is the same as the original. However, the last two lines are different.
The original text is only one line long.
花の跡まで(はなのあとまで):Hana no Ato made:to the traces of flowers
However, the poem on the hanging scroll has two lines at the end. I cannot decipher this part either.
The text on the very last line is the author's signature.
黄中:こうちゅう:kouchuu or kōchū
I apologize for the incomplete translation.

黄中 (Kōchū, sometimes rendered as Ōchū) was the pen-name of Kagawa Kagemoto (香川景柄), so it must be a poem from Kagawa Kagemoto.
My gut feeling is the first line is 秋深き山の （秋深き山能 in hentaigana). But after that I am lost. I agree it is probably based on the poem that Nangi-san mentioned.
