峰高み行きても見べき紅葉葉を
我がゐながらもかざしつるかな

Roma-ji: Mine takami yukite mo mibeki momijiba o waga inagara mo kazashitsuru kana
English Translation: The peaks rise so high—
the autumn leaves one must go
all that way to see,
I, without ever stirring,
have set as flowers in my hair
Meaning: The peaks are so high that one would have to go there to see their autumn leaves—yet without stirring from here I have set them in my hair.
Commentary: Book Eighteen Miscellaneous Poems IV 1302

Headnote: "On the same theme."
The poet rejoices that the autumn leaves of the high peaks, which one would have to journey to see, he has worn in his hair without stirring. On the same outing to the Northern Hills as the preceding poem, he delights in enjoying the leaves at hand without climbing the lofty peaks.
According to the headnote, it was composed on the same theme as the preceding poem.
The poet, Sakanoue no Korenori, was a poet of the early Heian period, said to be a descendant of Sakanoue no Tamuramaro. One of the Thirty-Six Poetic Immortals, he is represented in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu by "Asaborake ariake no tsuki to miru made ni."

The first line, "Mine takami," means "since the peaks are high," with "mi" giving the cause.
The second line, "yukite mo mibeki," means "that one should go to see."
The third line, "momijiba o," means "the autumn leaves," the same word as "momijiba no" in the third line of the preceding poem.
The fourth line, "waga inagara mo," means "I, staying right here."
The last line, "kazashitsuru kana," means "have set them in my hair," with "kana" exclamatory.
