山の端のみぞ夢に見えける

Roma-ji: Ariake no tsuki matsu hodo no utatane wa yamanoha nomi zo yume ni miekeru
English Translation: Dozing as I wait
for the moon that lingers till
the dawn to rise,
only the mountain's rim
appeared to me in dreams
Meaning: Dozing while I waited for the dawn moon to rise, I saw only the rim of the mountain in my dreams.
Commentary: Book Three Autumn Poems 214

Dozing off while waiting for the late-rising dawn moon, the poet dreams of nothing but the mountain's rim where it will appear. The poem depicts a longing for the moon so strong that it enters even dreams.
Its second line, 'while waiting for the moon', is the same as the second line of poem 154 in Book Two; there the poet scoops spring water while waiting, here he dozes.
From poem 174 through poem 217 in this book a long sequence of moon poems follows, from the evening moon through the bright moon of the fifteenth night of the Eighth Month to the moon at dawn, singing of the moon in all its aspects and of the heart that gazes on it.

First line, 'ariake no', refers to the dawn moon, the moon after the twentieth of the month that rises late and lingers until daybreak.
Second line, 'tsuki matsu hodo no', means while waiting for the moon to rise, the same line as poem 154 in Book Two.
Third line, 'utatane wa', means the light sleep, dozing.
Fourth line, 'yamanoha nomi zo', means only the mountain's rim, and zo binds with the attributive keru in the final line.
Final line, 'yume ni miekeru', means appeared in my dreams, showing how eagerly the moon was awaited.
