Waga seko ni koite subenami harusame no furu waki shirazu idete koshi ka mo

我が背子に恋ひてすべなみ春雨の
降るわき知らず出でて来しかも

Roma-ji: Waga seko ni koite subenami harusame no furu waki shirazu idete koshi ka mo
English Translation: For my dearest one
longing, helpless as I was,
in the rain of spring,
not knowing it was falling,
out I came, all unaware.
Meaning: Longing for you so helplessly, I came out without even noticing that the spring rain was falling.
Commentary: Book Ten Spring Love Poems 1915

Headnote: "Love Expressed Through Rain"
This poem tells how, longing helplessly for her beloved, the speaker went out without even noticing the spring rain. Its headnote is "Love Expressed Through Rain." The single-mindedness of love appears as action heedless of the rain. Whereas 1877 tells of being held up by spring rain and failing to meet the beloved, this poem goes out regardless of it, so the two stand in contrast around rain and love.

The first line, "waga seko ni," uses a word women used for a lover, showing that the speaker is a woman.
In the second line, "koite subenami," "subenami" means because there is nothing to be done, "mi" being a suffix of cause.
The third line, "the spring rain," is the subject of "falling."
In the fourth line, "furu waki shirazu," "waki" means distinction: without knowing whether it was falling.
In the last line, "idete koshi ka mo," "shi" is the attributive of the past "ki" and "ka mo" is exclamatory, closing as the speaker realizes she has come out in the rain.
