it made me know its sadness,
the sound of the wind:
now it gathers violence,
and winter has come at last
Meaning: Winter has come, when the sound of the wind, which in autumn taught me the poignancy of things, grows wilder still.
Commentary: Book Six Winter Poems 393

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Composed on the topic 'Early Winter' when he called for a hundred-poem sequence"
Composed on the topic of early winter for the Kyūan Hyakushu. Winter has come, the poet says, when the sound of the wind, which through autumn made him feel the poignancy of things, grows wilder still. He catches the turn from autumn to winter by ear, in a change in the very same sound of the wind.
The author, "Former Consultant Norinaga," is Fujiwara no Norinaga, son of Major Counselor Fujiwara no Tadanori, who rose to Consultant. Known as a fine calligrapher, he sided with Sutoku in the Hōgen Disturbance and was exiled to Hitachi. He was one of the authors of Sutoku's Kyūan Hyakushu.
The five poems from 390 to 394 are poems on early winter taken from Retired Emperor Sutoku's Kyūan Hyakushu. The Kyūan Hyakushu is the hundred-poem sequence that Retired Emperor Sutoku commissioned from poets such as Fujiwara no Akisuke and Fujiwara no Shunzei, presented in the sixth year of Kyūan (1150).

First line, "aki no uchi wa": "while autumn lasted," set against winter.
Second line, "aware shiraseshi": "aware" is the deep feeling stirred by things, and "shi," the attributive of the past "ki," looks back on the autumn wind that taught it.
Third line, "kaze no oto no": the same sound of the wind in autumn and in winter. 395 and 396 of this book also hear winter in a change in the sound of the storm.
Fourth line, "hageshisa souru": "sou" is to add, violence now added in place of autumn's poignancy.
Fifth line, "fuyu wa kinikeri": the same last line as 389 of this book, with "keri" expressing realization.
