A poem by Ōtomo no sukune Yakamochi when he arrived at a maiden’s gate.

妹家之　門田乎見跡　打出来之　情毛知久　照月夜鴨

いもがいへの　かどたをみむと　うちいでこし　こころもしるく　てるつくよかも

imo ga ipe no kadota wo mimu to uti’idekosi kokoro mo siruku teru tukuyo kamo

My darling’s house has Rice fields before its door—to see them Have I come, My heart brightened on A shining moonlit night!
