SKKS IV: 393

On flowering grasses before the moon, when he presented a Fifty Poem Sequence.

ふるさとのもとあらのこはぎさきしよりよなよな庭の月ぞうつろふ

furusato no
motoara no kohagi
sakishi yori
yonayona niwa no
tsuki zo utsurou
At my ancient home
Since the sparse bush clover
Bloomed,
Night after night upon the garden
Shines the moon![i]
