Hagi no hana saki no oori o miyo to ka mo tsukuyo no kiyoki koi masaraku ni

萩の花咲きのををりを見よとかも
月夜の清き恋まさらくに

Roma-ji: Hagi no hana saki no oori o miyo to ka mo tsukuyo no kiyoki koi masaraku ni
English Translation: The bush clover blooms,
branches bending with their flowers—
"Look at them," perhaps,
so the moonlit night shines clear,
though it makes my longing grow.
Meaning: Is it telling me to look at the bush clover blossoms bending their branches in full bloom, that the moonlit night is so clear—though it only makes my longing grow?
Commentary: Book Ten Autumn Miscellaneous Poems 2228

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "On the Moon"
This poem says that the moonlit night is so clear, as if bidding one to see the bush clover blooming till its branches bend, but that this only makes longing grow. Like 2225, where the moon shines to show the dew, it attributes will to the moonlight. It also carries the lament that a beautiful scene intensifies longing.

The first line, "the bush clover blossoms," names the flowers.
In the second line, "saki no oori o," "oori" describes blooming so thick the branches bend.
In the third line, "miyo to ka mo," "ka mo" is an interrogative particle in kakari-musubi with "kiyoki" in the fourth line.
The fourth line, "the moonlit night is clear," names the scene.
In the last line, "koi masaraku ni," "masaraku" is the nominalized "masaru": though longing grows.
