Kinkai wakashū 293

Gazing at the chrysanthemums in my garden on a rainy night.

露をおもみ籬のきくのほしもあへずはるればくもる村雨の空

tsuyu o omomi
magaki no kiku no
hoshi mo aezu
harureba kumoru
murasame no sora
Weighed down with dew,
The chrysanthemums by my lattice fence
Never get a chance to dry, for
Clearing skies are clouded by
A cloudburst from above.
