Roma-ji: Fuyu sareba arashi no koe mo takasago no matsu ni tsukete zo kiku bekarikeru
English Translation: When the winter comes
the voice of the storm grows high,
and at Takasago
it is by the pines we should
listen to its mournful cry.
Meaning: When winter comes, the voice of the storm rises high, and it is through the pines of Takasago that one ought to hear it.
Commentary: Book Four Winter Poems 236

Headnote: "For a folding screen at the house of Lord Kōtoku"
The poem says that the storm's voice, rising high when winter comes, is best heard as it blows through the pines of Takasago. The love of the sound of wind in the pines and the famed pines of that place are joined through wordplay on the place name. According to the headnote, it was written for a folding screen at the house of Lord Kōtoku, that is, Fujiwara no Tamemitsu.
The author, written as Yoshinobu, is Ōnakatomi no Yoshinobu. From the Ōnakatomi family, who served as chief priests of the Ise Shrine, he took part in compiling the Gosenshū and in reading the Man'yōshū as one of the Five Men of the Pear Chamber, and he is counted among the Thirty-Six Immortal Poets.

First line, "fuyu sareba," means "when winter comes," with "saru" describing a season's arrival. It has the same form as the first line of 238 in this book, "yū sareba."
Second line, "arashi no koe mo," means "the voice of the storm too."
Third line, "takasago no," plays on "takashi" (high, of a voice) and Takasago in Harima, famed for its pines. The next poem, 237, also sings of "the pines of Takasago," the two standing side by side as poems for the same screen.
Fourth line, "matsu ni tsukete zo," means "through the pines indeed," emphasized by the particle "zo."
Final line, "kiku bekarikeru," means "is how one ought to hear it," with "zo" resolved by the attributive "keru."
