Ie ni shite are wa koimu na inamino no asaji ga ue ni terishi tsukuyo o

家にして我れは恋ひむな印南野の
浅茅が上に照りし月夜を

Roma-ji: Ie ni shite are wa koimu na inamino no asaji ga ue ni terishi tsukuyo o
English Translation: When I'm home again
I shall long for it, I know—
on Inami Plain
over the low sedge grasses
the moon that shone that night
Meaning: When I am home again I shall long for it—the moon that shone on the low sedge of Inami Plain.
Commentary: Book Seven Miscellaneous Poems 1179

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Composed on Journeys"
The poet says that when he returns home he will long for the beauty of the moonlit night shining over the low sedge of Inami Plain. Still on his journey, he already anticipates the nostalgia he will feel.
It continues Inami Plain from the preceding poem; where that poem learned from the boat that Inami Plain had been passed, this one praises the beauty of a moonlit night on the plain. The poet is unknown.

The first line, "When I'm home again," means "once I am back at home."
In the second line, "na" is exclamatory: "how I shall long for it!" The poem pauses here.
The third line names Inami Plain, as in the preceding poem.
The fourth line, "over the low sedge grasses," refers to the short cogon grass.
The final line, "the moon that shone that night," gives by inversion the object of his longing.
