Karigane no kinakamu hi made mitsutsu aramu kono hagihara ni ame na furi so ne

雁がねの来鳴かむ日まで見つつあらむ
この萩原に雨な降りそね

Roma-ji: Karigane no kinakamu hi made mitsutsu aramu kono hagihara ni ame na furi so ne
English Translation: Till the wild geese come
crying here, until that day
I would gaze on it,
this broad field of bush clover—
rain, I beg you, do not fall!
Meaning: I want to keep gazing at this field of bush clover until the day the wild geese come crying—O rain, please do not fall!
Commentary: Book Ten Autumn Miscellaneous Poems 2097

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "On Flowers"
This poem asks the rain not to fall on the field of bush clover the poet wishes to gaze on until the day the wild geese come crying. The wish to keep the bush clover's peak until the geese arrive shows a heart eager to savor the emblems of autumn to the full. It has the same ending, "ame na furi so ne," as 1970 in the summer poems, repeating across seasons the device of calling on flower-scattering rain not to fall.

In the first line, "karigane no," "karigane" means the cry of geese and by extension the geese themselves.
The second line, "until the day they come to cry," shows the pairing of bush clover and geese, both autumn emblems.
In the third line, "mitsutsu aramu," "mu" softens or expresses intention: I would keep gazing. The line is hypermetric.
The fourth line, "on this field of bush clover," names the place.
The last line, "ame na furi so ne," uses "na ... so" for prohibition and "ne" for a plea; it is the same ending as 1970, closing with a request that the rain not fall.
