SKS IX: 293

When His Majesty was recently retired, on a night when the moon was shining brightly, he sent this to him via a court lady.

すみのぼる月のひかりにさそはれてくものうへまでゆくこころかな

suminoboru
tsuki no hikari ni
sasowarete
kumo no ue made
yuku kokoro kana
Clearly climbing
The light of the moon
Invites,
Above the clouds,
To go my heart!

The Chancellor
