Composed on the moon at dawn on the road to a barrier, while at the Shirakawa residence of the former Uji Grand Minister.

あり明の月もし水にやどりけりこよひはこえじあふさかの関

ariake no tuki mo simizu ni yadorikeri koyoFi Fa koezi aFusaka no seki

The dawntime Moon within pure water Has lodged; Tonight I’ll not pass The barrier at Meeting Hill.
