Kienamashi kesa tazunezuba Yamashiro no hito konu yado no michishiba no tsuyu

消えなまし今朝訪ねずば山城の
人来ぬ宿の道芝の露

Roma-ji: Kienamashi kesa tazunezuba Yamashiro no hito konu yado no michishiba no tsuyu
English Translation: I would have vanished,
had you not come this morning,
like the dew upon
the wayside grass at my lodge
in Yamashiro where none come.
Meaning: Had you not come to me this morning, I would have vanished like the dew on the wayside grass by my lodge in Yamashiro where no one ever comes.
Commentary: Love Poems 505

Headnote: "Love on the morning after, at a mountain dwelling"
Had the beloved not come this morning, the poet would have vanished like the dew on the wayside grass by a mountain lodge in Yamashiro where no one comes; he rejoices at the visit on the morning after.
The Ruijū text titles it "The morning after, at a mountain dwelling."

Line 1 means "I would have vanished," na intensive and mashi counterfactual; the poem pauses here, answering the fear of vanishing in the preceding poem.
Line 2 means "had you not come this morning."
Line 3 means "of Yamashiro."
Line 4 means "of the lodge where no one comes."
Line 5 names the dew on the wayside grass, ending on a noun and laying the vanishing dew over the poet himself.
