Kannazuki tani ni zo kumo wa shigururu meru tsuki sumu mine wa aki ni kawarade

神無月谷にぞ雲は時雨るめる
月澄む峰は秋に変はらで

Roma-ji: Kannazuki tani ni zo kumo wa shigururu meru tsuki sumu mine wa aki ni kawarade
English Translation: In the tenth month
down in the valley, it seems,
the clouds shower rain—
while the peak where moonlight's clear
stays unchanged from autumn days.
Meaning: In the tenth month it seems the clouds are showering down in the valley, while the peak where the moon shines clear remains just as it was in autumn.
Commentary: Miscellaneous Poems 1112

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "At a place called Azumaya, seeing the moon after the showers"
In the tenth month the clouds still seem to be showering in the valleys, but the peak where the moon shines clear remains as bright as in autumn, the poet says.
Like the preceding poem, it sings of the moon after the showers at Azumaya, contrasting the moonlit peak with the showers below. It shares the composition of 1106 in this book, which contrasted the peak of the clear moon with the valley of sunken clouds, a viewpoint known only to ascetics on the heights of Ōmine. It also holds a seasonal contrast: early winter below, an autumn moon still lingering above.

First line, “Kannazuki”: the tenth month, the same first line as the preceding poem, making a pair.
Second line, “tani ni zo kumo wa”: zo is emphatic, answered by the attributive meru.
Third line, “shigururu meru”: meru infers from sight, "they seem to shower"; the poem breaks here.
Fourth line, “tsuki sumu mine wa”: the peak where the moon is clear, set against the valley.
Fifth line, “aki ni kawarade”: de is a negative conjunction, "unchanged from autumn," trailing off with lingering feeling.
