Roma-ji: Misaburai mikasa to mōse miyagino no ko no shita tsuyu wa ame ni masareri
English Translation: Attendant, go and
tell your master, here's your hat:
at Miyagino
the dew beneath the trees
falls heavier than the rain.
Meaning: Attendant, tell your lord to put on his hat: the dew dripping from the trees of Miyagino is heavier than any rain.
Commentary: Book Twenty Poems of the Bureau of Court Song 1091

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Songs of the East: Michinoku Song"
Because the dew beneath the trees of Miyagino drenches worse than rain, the singer calls on the attendant to offer his master a hat. The abundance of dew conveys the depth of Miyagino's grasses and trees, and the plain became a poetic place name famed for dew and bush clover. No author is recorded.
The Michinoku songs are folk songs of the province of Michinoku, today's Tōhoku region, forming the group of seven from poem 1087 to 1093. They are provincial songs taken up into court performance.

The first line, "attendant," addresses one who serves a noble; mi is an honorific prefix.
The second line, "tell him, your hat, sir," is an imperative to the attendant. The poem breaks here.
The third line, "of Miyagino," names the plain in Michinoku, today the eastern part of Sendai, Miyagi.
The fourth line, "the dew beneath the trees," means the drops falling from the branches.
The last line, "is heavier than rain," uses ri for continuing state, giving the reason for the hat after the fact.
