Natsu no yo wa Mada yoi nagara Akenuru wo Kumo no izuko ni Tsuki yadoruramu. Too short the lovely summer night, Too soon ’tis passed away; I watched to see behind which cloud The moon would chance to stay, And here's the dawn of day! Nothing is known of this writer, except that he was the father of the author of verse No. 42.
