Yoi ni aite ashita omonami nabari no no hagi wa chiriniki momichi haya tsuge

宵に逢ひて朝面なみ名張野の
萩は散りにき黄葉早継げ

Roma-ji: Yoi ni aite ashita omonami nabari no no hagi wa chiriniki momichi haya tsuge
English Translation: Meeting in the night,
too shy to face the morning,
on Nabari Plain
the bush clover has all fallen:
autumn leaves, come take its place
Meaning: The bush clover on Nabari Plain, whose name means hiding, like a lover too shy to show her face the morning after, has fallen; come quickly, autumn leaves, and take its place.
Commentary: Book Eight Autumn Miscellaneous Poems 1536

Headnote: "A poem by the Priest Entatsu"
The bush clover on Nabari Plain has already fallen, so the poet calls on the autumn leaves to take its place quickly. The first two lines paint a scene of love, and through the sound "nabaru," to hide, the poem leads to the place name "Nabari," a clever and witty touch.
The author, the Priest Entatsu, is thought to have been a monk, but little is known of him.

The first line means "having met a lover in the evening."
The second line means "too shy to show one's face in the morning"; the first two lines form a preface leading to "Nabari" through "nabaru," to hide for shame.
The third line names Nabari Plain in Iga Province, likely a place on a journey.
The fourth line, with the perfective "ni" and past "ki," states that the clover has already fallen, and the poem pauses here.
The final line, in the imperative, calls on the autumn leaves to follow the clover quickly, wishing that autumn's colors not be broken off.
