Tabine suru Ise no hamaogi tsuyu nagara musubu makura ni yadoru tsukikage

旅寝する伊勢の浜荻露ながら
結ぶ枕に宿る月影

Roma-ji: Tabine suru Ise no hamaogi tsuyu nagara musubu makura ni yadoru tsukikage
English Translation: Sleeping on the road,
the beach reeds of Ise
still wet with the dew
I bind into my pillow,
and there lodges the moonlight.
Meaning: Sleeping on my journey, I bind the beach reeds of Ise into a pillow still wet with dew, and in it the moonlight comes to lodge.
Commentary: Miscellaneous Poems 566

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "On the heart of travel"
Sleeping on the shore of Ise, the poet binds dew-wet beach reeds into a pillow, and the moonlight is reflected and lodges in the dew. Within the loneliness of travel he finds the beauty of the moon.
It was included in the imperial anthology Shokukokin Wakashū. The Ruijū text places it in its travel section titled "Poem of travel." Kamo no Mabuchi judged the moonlight lodged in dew to be a later conceit.

Line 1 means "sleeping on the road."
Line 2 means "the beach reeds of Ise," long sung in poetry.
Line 3 means "with the dew still on them."
Line 4 means "on the pillow I bind," replacing the "pillow of grass" of the preceding poem with the reeds of Ise.
Line 5 means "the moonlight lodging," ending on a noun; as the traveller lodges, so does the moon in the dew.
