Aki no no no kusaba mo wakenu waga sode no tsuyukeku nomi mo narimasaru kana - Shui Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

秋の野の草葉も分けぬ我が袖の
露けくのみもなりまさるかな

Roma-ji: Aki no no no kusaba mo wakenu waga sode no tsuyukeku nomi mo narimasaru kana
English Translation: Though I have not walked
parting the grass of autumn
fields, still my sleeves are
not only dewy, but how
they grow wetter all the more.
Meaning: Though I have not walked parting the grass of the autumn fields, my sleeves are not only wet with dew but grow wetter all the more.
Commentary: Book Thirteen Love Poems III 832

Headnote: "Topic unknown"
The poem says that though one has not walked through the grass of autumn fields, one's sleeves not only grow wet with dew but grow ever wetter. Through the dew of the autumn fields, it sings of sleeves wet not with dew from the grass but with the tears of love.

First line, "aki no no no," means "of the autumn fields." From here poems on autumn images follow.
Second line, "kusaba mo wakenu," means "though I have not parted the grass."
Third line, "waga sode no," means "my sleeves."
Fourth line, "tsuyukeku nomi mo," means "only wet with dew," laying tears over dew. It shares dew with the final line of the preceding poem, 831, "okiitaru tsuyu."
Final line, "narimasaru kana," means "how it grows ever more so," with "kana" exclamatory.
