SZS IV: 283

Composed as a poem on the moon, when he presented a hundred poem sequence.

さよふけてふじのたかねにすむ月は煙ばかりやくもりなるべき

sayo Fukete
Fuzi no takane ni
sumu tuki Fa
keburi bakari ya
kumori narubeki
Brief night wears on, and
Above the high peak of Fuji,
Can the clear moon
Simply by smoke
Alone be clouded?

The Ōinomikado Minister of the Right
