Yo o komete take no amido ni tatsu kiri no hareba yagate ya aken to suran

夜をこめて竹の網戸に立つ霧の
晴ればやがてや明けんとすらん

Roma-ji: Yo o komete take no amido ni tatsu kiri no hareba yagate ya aken to suran
English Translation: While it's deep in night,
the mist risen by my door
woven out of bamboo,
when it clears, will the dawn come
breaking right upon its heels?
Meaning: Since deep in the night the mist has hung about my woven bamboo door; when it clears, will the dawn come right away?
Commentary: Autumn Poems 428

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Mist at a mountain dwelling"
This poem continues the topic of mist at a mountain dwelling. From deep in the night, mist hangs about the woven bamboo door of the mountain house; when it lifts, will the night break right away? The poet lays his waiting for the dawn over the mist that hangs about the mountain dwelling before daybreak.
Where the preceding poem sang of a mountain village shut in by mist and a heart that could not clear, this one lays the lifting of the mist over the breaking of the night, singing of a heart waiting for the mist to clear.

First line, “yo o komete”: while it is still deep in the night.
Second line, “take no amido ni”: amido is a door woven of bamboo, the rough door of a mountain dwelling.
Third line, “tatsu kiri no”: the mist that hangs about it.
Fourth line, “hareba yagate ya”: hareba means if it clears, yagate right away, and ya is a question particle answering ran in the last line.
Fifth line, “aken to suran”: ran is present conjecture, will the night be about to break.
