Akikaze no fukinishi hi yori amanogawa se ni idetachite matsu to tsuge koso

秋風の吹きにし日より天の川
瀬に出で立ちて待つと告げこそ

Roma-ji: Akikaze no fukinishi hi yori amanogawa se ni idetachite matsu to tsuge koso
English Translation: Since the day at first
when the autumn wind began,
the Heavenly River—
at its shoals I stand and wait;
tell him this, I beg of you.
Meaning: Tell him that ever since the day the autumn wind began to blow, I have gone out and stood waiting at the shoals of the Heavenly River.
Commentary: Book Ten Autumn Miscellaneous Poems 2083

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Tanabata"
This poem, in the Weaver's voice, asks that the Herdsman be told that ever since the autumn wind began to blow, she has gone out to the shoals of the Heavenly River and stood waiting. Taking the first autumn wind as the coming of the Tanabata season, it shows a single-hearted devotion that has waited ever since. Whereas in 2000 the Herdsman asked that his wife be told he awaited autumn, here the Weaver asks that he be told she is waiting, so the two poems form a pair.

The first line, "of the autumn wind," names the season's sign.
In the second line, "fukinishi hi yori," "ni" marks completion and "shi" is the attributive of the past "ki": since the day it began to blow.
The third line, "the Heavenly River," names the place of waiting.
The fourth line, "going out to stand at the shoals," is hypermetric.
In the last line, "matsu to tsuge koso," "koso" is a particle of wishing: tell him I am waiting. It answers the last line of 2000.
