故郷の庭は木の葉に色変へて
かはらの松ぞ緑なりける

Roma-ji: Furusato no niwa wa konoha ni iro kaete kawara no matsu zo midori narikeru
English Translation: At my old home
the garden under fallen leaves
has changed its color,
and the pine upon the tiles
alone, I find, is green
Meaning: At the old home, the garden has changed its color beneath the fallen leaves, and only the pine on the roof tiles, I find, is still green.
Commentary: Book Five Autumn Poems II 376

Headnote: "Composed on the topic 'Falling Leaves at an Old Home'"
Composed on the topic "Falling Leaves at an Old Home." The garden of the old home where no one lives any longer, the poet says, has changed color entirely under the fallen leaves, yet the pine of the "kawara" alone has stayed green. Contrasting the garden buried in fallen leaves with the pine that keeps its green, he depicts the loneliness of a desolate old home.
The author, "Koremune no Hirokoto," was an official and poet of the late Heian period. He was also versed in imayō songs, and his personal collection is the Koremune no Hirokoto Shū.
Where the preceding poem, 375, sang of "pines that do not change color," this one sings of the garden that "has changed color," setting it against the unchanging pine.
The fourth line of the text reads "kawara no matsu zo," which does not match "kawaranu matsu zo" in the reading line. Here the text is followed.

First line, "furusato no": "furusato" here is an old dwelling left desolate after its people have gone, giving the topic's "old home."
Second line, "niwa wa konoha ni": "the garden, by the fallen leaves." Like "niwa no omo" in 369 of this book, it sings of a garden where leaves pile up.
Third line, "iro kaete": "having changed color," pairing with "iro kaenu" in the preceding poem, 375.
Fourth line, "kawara no matsu zo": following the text, "kawara" is roof tile, and the line is read as a pine growing on the tiles of a ruined house. With the reading line's "kawaranu," it would mean a pine that does not change color. "Zo" closes with the attributive "keru" in the last line.
Fifth line, "midori narikeru": "keri" expresses realization, closing the "zo" of the fourth line in the attributive. Only the pine was green, set against the garden that has changed.
