When a lady had dropped her hair-tie, I picked it up and passed it back to her.
あさねがみもとゆひそめししるしありてとけてみゆるをこころともがな

kokoro to mogana | That your morning bed-hair
You had started to do up
Is this a sign, but
I would see you loosen it
Together with your heart! |

yowa no tsuki kana | Upon my hair-tie
Frost atop of frost does trail
I feel;
Blinding bright appears
The midnight moon! |

Autumn for a keepsake
Falling upon
My hair-tie is
