Yū sareba suzu fuku arashi mi ni shimite yoshino no take ni miyuki fururashi

夕さればすず吹く嵐身にしみて
吉野の嶽にみ雪降るらし

Roma-ji: Yū sareba suzu fuku arashi mi ni shimite yoshino no take ni miyuki fururashi
English Translation: When evening comes
the storm wind through the bamboo
pierces to the bone;
on the peaks of Yoshino
the snow must be falling now.
Meaning: As evening comes, the storm wind through the bamboo pierces me to the bone; on the peaks of Yoshino, snow must be falling.
Commentary: Winter Poems 362

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Snow"
As evening comes, the storm wind rattling the bamboo grass pierces him to the bone, and the poet surmises that snow must be falling on the peaks of Yoshino. From the chill of the wind on his body, he imagines the snow on the distant mountains of Yoshino.

Line 1 means "when evening comes." The next poems, 363 and 364, open with the same line, so three poems sing snow at evening.
Line 2 is the fierce wind that sets the bamboo grass rustling.
Line 3 means "the cold of the wind pierces to the bone," the same as line 3 of 351.
Line 4 names the high peaks of Yoshino in Yamato, built the same way as "on the peak of Ikoma" in 347.
Line 5: rashi is a conjecture based on evidence, inferring snow from the cold of the wind. The next poem also ends with the same conjecture, "snow must be falling."
