One Hundred Poems 1549
Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Ten Miscellaneous Poems"
The seventh of the ten miscellaneous poems. In the mountain village, as he wanders lost in the dreams of the heart, the sound of the wind blows in and wakes him from them.
In the quiet of the village, the sound of the wind rushing through wakes a heart lost in deluded dreams. It shares the closing line kaze no oto kana with 1478 among the moon poems; the wind that there burst the moon's bundle at the seams is here the sound that wakes the heart from its dream.
First line, “yamazato no”: in the mountain village.
Second line, “kokoro no yume ni”: in the dreams of the heart, its delusions.
Third line, “madoioreba”: while I am lost; the line has an extra syllable.
Fourth line, “fuki shiramakasu”: shiramakasu is taken as to dampen or break the spell, "blowing in to wake me."
Fifth line, “kaze no oto kana”: the same closing line as 1478; kana marks exclamation.
