Ominaeshi akihagi majiru ashiki no no kyō o hajimete yorozuyo ni mimu

をみなへし秋萩交る蘆城の野
今日を始めて万世に見む

Roma-ji: Ominaeshi akihagi majiru ashiki no no kyō o hajimete yorozuyo ni mimu
English Translation: With maiden flowers,
autumn clover intermixed,
the fields of Ashiki:
from this day on, for all time,
we will gaze on them again
Meaning: The fields of Ashiki, where maiden flowers bloom mingled with autumn bush clover: from this day on I will gaze on them for ten thousand ages.
Commentary: Book Eight Autumn Miscellaneous Poems 1530

Headnote: "Two poems from a banquet held by the lords, officers, and officials of Dazaifu at the Ashiki post station in Chikuzen Province"
The poem praises the beauty of the fields of Ashiki, where maiden flowers bloom mingled with autumn bush clover, and vows to gaze on them forever from this day on. It was sung at a banquet held by the officials of Dazaifu at the Ashiki post station, and by praising the land it celebrates the joy of the feast and the prosperity of those present.
The note says, "The authors of the above two poems are unknown."

The first line names the maiden flower, one of the seven flowers of autumn, which bears tiny yellow blossoms.
The second line, "mingled with autumn bush clover," paints the yellow maiden flowers and red-violet clover lending color to each other.
The third line, with an extra syllable, names the fields of Ashiki in Chikuzen, where a post station stood and the officials of Dazaifu held outings and feasts.
The fourth line means "beginning from today."
The final line closes with the volitional "mu": "we will gaze on them forever." The next poem also ends, "could we forget it for ten thousand ages?" so both poems praise the land by speaking of eternity.
