巻向の檜原の嵐冴え冴えて
弓月が嶽に雪降りにけり

Roma-ji: Makimuku no hibara no arashi saesaete yutsuki ga take ni yuki furinikeri
English Translation: At Makimuku
the storm wind through the cypress
blows keen and cold,
and on the peak of Yutsuki
the snow has fallen now.
Meaning: The storm wind through the cypress groves of Makimuku blows bitterly cold, and snow has fallen on the peak of Yutsuki.
Commentary: Winter Poems 370

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Snow"
The storm wind through the cypress groves of Makimuku blows cold and keen, and snow has fallen on the peak of Yutsuki. Using the place names Makimuku and Yutsuki sung in the Hitomaro Collection of the Man'yōshū, the poet portrays snow on the mountains of Yamato in an archaic tone.
This poem was included in the Fūga Wakashū. Kamo no Mabuchi marked it with a circle.

Line 1 names Makimuku in Yamato, often sung in the Man'yōshū.
Line 2 is the fierce wind blowing over a plain thick with cypress.
Line 3 is the same as line 3 of 345 to 347, "blowing cold and keen."
Line 4 names Yutsuki, one of the peaks of Mount Makimuku.
Line 5: the exclamatory keri expresses the realization that snow has fallen. Built the same way as "hail must be falling" in 347, this poem declares that the snow has fallen rather than inferring it.
