月夜には手倉の山の時鳥声も隠れぬ物にざりける

On a moonlit night
On Tekura Mountain that
The cuckoo
Does conceal his call
Is not true at all…

KYS VIII: 448

Composed gazing at the moon when there were baseless rumours about her.

如何にせむ歎の杜は茂けれど木の間の月の隱れなき世を

ika ni semu
nageki no mori Fa
sigekeredo
ko no ma no tuki no
kakurenaki yo wo
What am I to do?
The sacred groves of Nageki with grief
Grow lush, yet
Between the trees, from the moon
There is no hiding in this world.
