This was written as a text for a painting, which most probably did not show moon and cherry blossoms.
Cherry blossoms and the moon are the two most important kigo for spring and autumn.

Tr. Gabi Greve
Written in 延宝7年, Basho age 36
on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month,
the Chrysanthemum Festival
His sake cup had a pattern of chrysanthemums, so the sake looked almost as collected dew from the petals. He who drinks sake from this cup every day will surely live a long live.
To collect the dew on the chrysanthemum petals and drink it would bring you long life (chooju 長寿). The Chrysanthemum Flower Festival on the 9th of September is also one to celebrate one's wish for longevity 不老長寿.
