Koitsutsu mo inaba kakiwake ie oreba toboshiku mo arazu aki no yūkaze

恋ひつつも稲葉かき別け家居れば
乏しくもあらず秋の夕風

Roma-ji: Koitsutsu mo inaba kakiwake ie oreba toboshiku mo arazu aki no yūkaze
English Translation: Longing as I do,
pushing through the rice-plant leaves
there I make my home,
and never scarce for me here
is the autumn evening wind.
Meaning: Longing all the while, I dwell in a home reached by parting the leaves of rice—and the autumn evening wind is never lacking here.
Commentary: Book Ten Autumn Miscellaneous Poems 2230

Headnote: "On the Wind"
This poem, with its headnote "On the Wind," says that living in a lodging among the rice fields while bearing longing, the autumn evening wind blows in without cease. "Toboshiku mo arazu," never scarce, may be read as carrying a faint irony: the beloved does not come, but the evening wind comes in plenty. Its fourth line is the same as in 1820 of the spring poems, "the warbler's voice is never scarce," singing of the autumn evening wind against the spring warbler's voice.

The first line, "koitsutsu mo," means even while longing.
The second line, "parting the rice leaves," shows a lodging amid the rice fields.
The third line, "since I dwell there," names the lodging.
The fourth line, "toboshiku mo arazu," not scarce, is the same as the fourth line of 1820 and is hypermetric.
The last line, "the autumn evening wind," ends on a noun, closing with the ceaseless wind.
