Kasugano ni shigure furu miyu asu yori wa momichi kazasamu takamato no yama

春日野に時雨降る見ゆ明日よりは
黄葉かざさむ高円の山

Roma-ji: Kasugano ni shigure furu miyu asu yori wa momichi kazasamu takamato no yama
English Translation: On Kasuga Plain
I can see the showers fall;
from tomorrow on,
it will wear the autumn leaves,
the mountain of Takamato
Meaning: I see the autumn showers falling on Kasuga Plain; from tomorrow on, Mount Takamato will wear its autumn leaves like flowers in its hair.
Commentary: Book Eight Autumn Miscellaneous Poems 1571

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Two poems by Fujiwara no Ason Yatsuka"
Seeing autumn showers fall on Kasuga Plain, the poet imagines that from tomorrow Mount Takamato will wear its autumn leaves like ornaments in its hair. Based on the belief that showers color the leaves, he likens the mountain to a person and pictures it splendidly adorned with autumn leaves.
The author, Fujiwara no Yatsuka, was a son of Fujiwara no Fusasaki; he later changed his name to Matate and rose to Major Counselor.

The first line names Kasuga Plain, spreading at the foot of Mount Kasuga in Nara.
The second line states that he can see the showers falling, and the poem pauses here.
The third line, "from tomorrow on," looks forward to the colors after the showers. Yamabe no Akahito's 1427 in this book uses the same line, eagerly waiting to pick greens from tomorrow, so hearts that wait for tomorrow answer each other in spring and autumn.
The fourth line means "will wear the autumn leaves as ornaments," an expression likening the mountain to a person.
The final line ends on a noun, naming at the end the one who will wear the leaves.
