Does the autumn moon
illuminate the foothills
so clearly to say,
"Look, you, upon the number
of dropping autumn leaves"?
aki no tsuki
yamabe sayaka ni
teraseru wa
otsuru momiji no
kazu o miyo to ka

(Original author unknown.) Compare #281 -- and as there, the verb for the saying is implied, though here a rendering that maintains the order of images forces one to supply it.aki no tsuki
yamabe sayaka ni
teraseru wa
otsuru momiji no
kazu o miyo to ka
