Kumo harete mi ni urei naki hito no mi zo sayaka ni tsuki no kage wa miru beki

雲晴れて身に憂へなき人の身ぞ
さやかに月の影は見るべき

Roma-ji: Kumo harete mi ni urei naki hito no mi zo sayaka ni tsuki no kage wa miru beki
English Translation: With the clouds all cleared,
only one whose self is free
of all care and grief
can behold so bright and clear
the light of the shining moon.
Meaning: Only one whose clouds have cleared and who has no grief in his heart can see the moonlight in all its clarity.
Commentary: Miscellaneous Poems 1407

Headnote: none
Only one whose clouds have cleared and who bears no grief can see the moonlight clearly, the poet says.
To see the moon purely, one must clear the clouds of the heart and cast off grief. Taking up "the clouds of the heart" in 1405, it states that the moon shines clear in a heart freed from sorrow.

First line, “kumo harete”: the clouds of the heart cleared.
Second line, “mi ni urei naki”: with no grief in oneself.
Third line, “hito no mi zo”: zo is answered by the attributive beki.
Fourth line, “sayaka ni tsuki no”: clearly, the moon's.
Fifth line, “kage wa miru beki”: one can see its light; beki expresses possibility.
