Mine orosu matsu no arashi no oto ni mata hibiki o souru iriai no kane

峰おろす松の嵐の音にまた
響きを添ふる入相の鐘

Roma-ji: Mine orosu matsu no arashi no oto ni mata hibiki o souru iriai no kane
English Translation: Upon the sound of
the storm through the pines that sweeps
down from the high peak,
there comes adding its echo
the evening temple bell.
Meaning: To the sound of the storm sweeping down from the peak through the pines, the evening temple bell adds its own echo.
Commentary: Miscellaneous Poems 1051

Headnote: "When people composed on the topic 'Evening at a mountain dwelling'"
This poem was composed when the company took the topic "Evening at a mountain dwelling." To the sound of the storm sweeping down through the pines from the peak, the evening bell adds its resonance.
The loneliness of dusk in the mountains is drawn through the layering of two sounds, wind in the pines and the bell, and the layering only deepens the stillness and solitude of the mountain home. Where in 1049 the storm ceased and the sound of water emerged, here the sound of the bell is added to the storm.

First line, “mine orosu”: blowing down from the peak, conveying the force of the storm.
Second line, “matsu no arashi no”: of the mountain wind sounding through the pines, carrying the loneliness of wind in the pines.
Third line, “oto ni mata”: to that sound, moreover.
Fourth line, “hibiki o souru”: adding resonance, the bell's lingering note laid over the storm.
Fifth line, “iriai no kane”: ending on a noun, the evening temple bell lingers in the ear.
