Basho - Not spilling the glistening dew, the bush clover, undulating in Japanese Calligraphy

白露をこぼさぬ萩のうねりかな (shiratsuyu wo kobosanu hagi no uneri kana)

A haiku by Matsuo Basho, read shiratsuyu wo kobosanu hagi no uneri kana. 萩 (hagi) is bush clover, one of the seven flowers of autumn, and 白露 (shiratsuyu) is the white dew that belongs to the same season. The poem turns on one restraint: the clover moves, and the dew still does not fall.
