Kari wa kinu hagi wa chirinu to saoshika no naku naru koe mo urabure ni keri

雁は来ぬ萩は散りぬとさを鹿の
鳴くなる声もうらぶれにけり

Roma-ji: Kari wa kinu hagi wa chirinu to saoshika no naku naru koe mo urabure ni keri
English Translation: "The wild geese have come,
the bush clover has fallen,"
so the stag's voice cries,
and even that crying sound
has grown sorrowful and low.
Meaning: "The wild geese have come, the bush clover has fallen"—so it seems the stag cries, and even his voice has grown forlorn.
Commentary: Book Ten Autumn Miscellaneous Poems 2144

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "On the Calling of Deer"
This poem says that even the stag's voice, crying as if lamenting the change of season—the geese have come, the bush clover has fallen—has grown forlorn. As if taking up 2126, in which the clover falls at the geese's cry, it sets the geese's arrival beside the clover's falling, feeling for the grief of the stag whose wife is the clover. Whereas "urabure" in the preceding poem was the speaker's heart, here the deer's voice is forlorn, so human and deer hearts overlap.

In the first line, "kari wa kinu," "nu" marks completion: the geese have come.
The second line, "the clover has fallen," is set in parallel with the first.
The third line, "of the stag," names the caller.
In the fourth line, "naku naru koe mo," "naru" is the attributive of the hearsay "nari."
In the last line, "urabure nikeri," "keri" expresses realization, closing with the same word "uraburu" as in the second line of the preceding poem.
