Ime no goto kimi o aimite amagirashi furikuru yuki no kenubeku omōyu

夢のごと君を相見て天霧らし
降りくる雪の消ぬべく思ほゆ

Roma-ji: Ime no goto kimi o aimite amagirashi furikuru yuki no kenubeku omōyu
English Translation: Like it was a dream,
having met with you, my love,
clouding all the sky
like the snow that tumbles down,
I feel that I'd melt away.
Meaning: Having met you as fleetingly as in a dream, I feel I might vanish, like the snow that falls from a clouded sky.
Commentary: Book Ten Winter Love Poems 2342

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Love Expressed Through Snow"
This poem says that after meeting the beloved as fleetingly as in a dream, the speaker feels about to vanish, like snow falling from a clouded sky. It shares its lower lines with 2340, changing the upper lines to "ime no goto kimi o aimite." It is the last of three variant poems ending "kenubeku omōyu," singing of feelings after a fleeting meeting.

The first line, "like a dream," names the comparison.
The second line, "having met you," names the meeting.
The third line, "clouding the sky," is the same as the third line of 2340.
The fourth line, "like the falling snow," names the comparison.
The last line, "kenubeku omōyu," is the same ending as 2340.
