Tabi no sora narenu hanyū no yoru no toko wabishiki made ni moru shigure kana

旅の空なれぬ埴生の夜の床
わびしきまでに漏る時雨かな

Roma-ji: Tabi no sora narenu hanyū no yoru no toko wabishiki made ni moru shigure kana
English Translation: Beneath a strange sky
in an unfamiliar hut
on my bed at night
until I feel forlorn
the winter shower leaks through.
Meaning: Beneath the sky of my journey, on my bed at night in an unfamiliar earthen hut, the cold shower leaks through until I feel utterly forlorn.
Commentary: Miscellaneous Poems 579

Headnote: "Winter shower at a lodging on a journey"
Staying in a poor, unfamiliar hut on the road, the poet finds the winter shower leaking onto his bed at night, and loneliness sinks into him. The unease of travel is drawn through the concrete discomfort of a leaking roof.
The Ruijū text places it in its travel section. The text transmitted by Teika reads line 3 as yoru no to ni.

Line 1 means "beneath the sky of travel."
Line 2 means "of an unfamiliar earthen hut."
Line 3 means "the bed at night."
Line 4 means "to the point of desolation."
Line 5 means "the leaking shower," kana exclamatory; against the clear moonlit nights of the two preceding poems, this is a night of rain.
