When she had something on her mind and was unable to sleep, she sat awake all night gazing at the bright moon until dawn, and composed this when her garden became slightly darkened by a shower.
神無月あり明の空のしぐるるを又われならぬ人やみるらん
kaminaduki ariake no sora no sigururu wo mata ware naranu Fito ya miruran | In the Godless Month The sky at dawn is Covered with showers— Other than I, I wonder if he sees it, too? |
