ひさかたの月もひかりをやはらげてしめのうちにはすむにやあるらむ

月かげをゆきかとみればすみよしのあけのたまがきいろもかくれず
| tsukikage o yuki ka to mireba sumiyoshi no ake no tamagaki iro mo kakurezu | When, upon the moonlight, I looked and wondered if ‘twas snow, At Sumiyoshi The vermillion jewelled fences’ Hues were not concealed at all. |

The Left’s ‘Moon, too, his light / Has softened’ and so forth seems a charming configuration, but it is unclear from this whether the moon is shining more gently within the sacred grounds. Although I do wonder about the sound of beginning with ‘I looked and wondered if ‘twas snow’ and abruptly ending with ‘Hues were not concealed at all’, the conception seems clearly expressed in the diction and so I make the Right the winner.
