Mimaku hori aga machikoishi akihagi wa eda mo shimimi ni hana sakinikeri

見まく欲り我が待ち恋ひし秋萩は
枝もしみみに花咲きにけり

Roma-ji: Mimaku hori aga machikoishi akihagi wa eda mo shimimi ni hana sakinikeri
English Translation: Longing so to see,
I have waited, yearned for it—
autumn bush clover
on its branches, thick and full,
now the blossoms have come out!
Meaning: The autumn bush clover I have waited and longed to see has bloomed, its branches thick with flowers.
Commentary: Book Ten Autumn Miscellaneous Poems 2124

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "On Flowers"
This poem rejoices that the autumn bush clover the speaker longed to see has bloomed with its branches thick with flowers. Whereas the preceding poem lamented that the clover had not yet bloomed, here it has bloomed in full, so the two form a pair of the lament of waiting and the joy of blooming. The word "shimimi ni" shows the abundance of flowers filling the branches.

The first line, "mimaku hori," longing to see, is a phrase also found in 1943 of the summer poems.
In the second line, "aga machikoishi," "shi" is the attributive of the past "ki": that I waited and longed for.
The third line, "the autumn bush clover," marks the theme.
In the fourth line, "eda mo shimimi ni," "shimimi ni" means thickly, densely.
In the last line, "hana sakinikeri," "keri" expresses realization, closing with joy at noticing the clover in full bloom.
