Kumo haruru arashi no oto wa matsu ni are ya tsuki mo midori no iro ni haetsutsu

雲晴るる嵐の音は松にあれや
月も緑の色に映えつつ

Roma-ji: Kumo haruru arashi no oto wa matsu ni are ya tsuki mo midori no iro ni haetsutsu
English Translation: Is the sound of storm
that has cleared away the clouds
living in the pines?
Even the moon glows on there
in the color of their green.
Meaning: Does the sound of the storm that has swept the clouds away dwell in the pines? Even the moon shines on, glowing with the green of their needles.
Commentary: Autumn Poems 362

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "When I composed many poems on the moon"
This is the twenty-sixth poem in the moon series. The sound of the storm that sweeps away the clouds is heard in the tops of the pines; can it be that the storm lives there? Even the moon, cleared of clouds by the storm, glows in the green of the pines. The sound of the wind in the pines is paired with moonlight shining on their green.
Where the preceding poem made clouds the moon's ornament, this one sings of the moon after the storm has cleared the clouds. Moonlight glowing with the green of pines is an unusual pairing of colors among the moon poems.

First line, “kumo haruru”: clouds clearing, modifying arashi in the second line, the storm that clears the clouds.
Second line, “arashi no oto wa”: the sound of the strong wind.
Third line, “matsu ni are ya”: is it because it is in the pines, the perfective are with the question particle ya conjecturing a reason; the poem breaks after the third line.
Fourth line, “tsuki mo midori no”: even the moon, the green of the pines.
Fifth line, “iro ni haetsutsu”: haeru is to shine reflected, and tsutsu shows continuation, the moonlight glowing on in the green.
