Kono yora wa sayo fukenurashi kari ga ne no kikoyuru sora yu tsuki tachiwataru

この夜らはさ夜更けぬらし雁が音の
聞こゆる空ゆ月立ち渡る

Roma-ji: Kono yora wa sayo fukenurashi kari ga ne no kikoyuru sora yu tsuki tachiwataru
English Translation: On this night tonight
it has grown late, so it seems;
of the wild geese's cry,
through the sky where it is heard
the moon rises, crossing on.
Meaning: The night seems to have grown late—across the sky where the wild geese's cry is heard, the moon is making its way.
Commentary: Book Ten Autumn Miscellaneous Poems 2224

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "On the Moon"
Seeing the moon crossing the sky where the geese's cry is heard, this poem infers that the night has grown late. The composition of knowing the night's depth by the moon's movement shows the stillness and mood of an autumn night. The geese's voices and the moonlight overlap, painting the autumn night sky in depth.

In the first line, "kono yora wa," "ra" is a suffix: this night.
In the second line, "sayo fukenurashi," "rashi" marks grounded inference, and the poem breaks here.
The third line, "of the geese's cry," names the sound.
In the fourth line, "kikoyuru sora yu," "yu" marks the route: across the sky where it is heard.
The last line, "the moon crosses," closes with the moon's movement that grounds the inference.
