SZS XVI: 994

Composed when he composed ten poems about the moon.

今よりはふけ行くまでに月はみじそのこととなく涙おちけり

ima yori Fa
Fukeyuku made ni
tuki Fa mizi
sono koto to naku
namida otikeri
From now
Until the break of dawn
I shall not look upon the moon;
For no particular reason
My tears are falling.

Lord Fujiwara no Kiyosuke
