Composed when he had been gazing at the unclouded moon until dawn, on the night of the 15th of the Ninth Month.
秋はつるさ夜ふけがたの月みれば袖ものこらず露ぞおきける
| aki hatsuru sayo fukegata no tsuki mireba sode mo nokorazu tsuyu zo okikeru | At the start of autumn As brief night begins to break As I gaze upon the moon Not a spot upon my sleeves I Is left untouched by dewdrops. |
