まだ降るものは木の葉なりけり

English Translation: Without a trace,
the sky of passing showers
has cleared at last, but
the thing that still keeps falling
is the falling of the leaves
Meaning: The sky of autumn showers has cleared without a trace, yet something is still falling: it is the leaves.
Commentary: Book Three Autumn Poems 135

Headnote: "Composed on the topic "falling leaves after rain""
Minamoto no Toshiyori composed this on the topic "falling leaves after rain."
After the showers have completely stopped, something still keeps falling, and it turns out to be leaves. Linking rain and falling leaves through the single word furu, to fall, the poem wittily finds in the leaves the lingering trace of the showers.

The first line, "nagori naku," means "without a trace."
The second line, "shigure no sora wa," means "the sky of shigure," the intermittent showers of late autumn and early winter.
The third line, "harenuredo," is concessive: "though it has cleared."
The fourth line, "mada furu mono wa," means "what is still falling," joining rain and leaves through furu.
The last line, "konoha narikeri," closes with the realization "it was the leaves." Following "the leaves of autumn" in 133 in this book, it sings of falling leaves.
