Tsuki izuru mine no konoha mo chirihatete fumoto no sato wa ureshikaruran

月出づる峰の木の葉も散り果てて
麓の里はうれしかるらん

Roma-ji: Tsuki izuru mine no konoha mo chirihatete fumoto no sato wa ureshikaruran
English Translation: Where the moon comes up
the leaves upon the peak as well
have fallen, all of them;
the village at the mountain's foot
must be glad of it, I think.
Meaning: The leaves on the peak where the moon rises have all fallen, and the village at the foot of the mountain must surely be glad.
Commentary: Winter Poems 518

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "The winter moon at a mountain dwelling"
This is the second poem on the topic of the winter moon at a mountain dwelling. The leaves of the trees on the peak where the moon rises have all fallen, so nothing now blocks the moon, and the poet supposes that the people of the village at the foot must be glad to see it so well.
Where 495 in this book lamented, from the side of one seeking to live hidden, that falling leaves let the moonlight lay the heart bare, this poem treats the same falling leaves and moon as a cause of joy from the side of the village below, viewing them with opposite feelings.

First line, “tsuki izuru”: the moon coming up.
Second line, “mine no konoha mo”: mo means even the leaves of the peak, in addition to other things.
Third line, “chirihatete”: chirihatsu is to fall completely.
Fourth line, “fumoto no sato wa”: the village at the foot of the mountain, paired with the peak.
Fifth line, “ureshikaruran”: ran is present conjecture, they must be glad, the poet imagining the feelings of the villagers below.
