KYS III: 215

Composed on the moon at dawn at a mountain retreat.

やまざとのかどたのいねのほのぼのとあくるもしらず月を見るかな

yamazato no
kadota no ine no
Fonobono to
akuru mo sirazu
tuki o miru kana
At a mountain retreat, that
The rice seedlings in the paddy ‘fore my gate
Are dimly
Brightening, I know not, for
My gaze is on the moon!
