Waga io wa yoshino no oku no fuyugomori yuki furitsumite tou hito mo nashi

我が庵は吉野の奥の冬ごもり
雪降り積みて訪ふ人もなし

Roma-ji: Waga io wa yoshino no oku no fuyugomori yuki furitsumite tou hito mo nashi
English Translation: My hut is here
deep in the hills of Yoshino,
shut in for winter;
the snow has fallen and piled,
and no one comes to call.
Meaning: My hut stands deep in the hills of Yoshino, shut in for the winter; snow has fallen and piled up, and no one comes to visit.
Commentary: Winter Poems 374

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Snow"
Shut in for the winter in his hut deep in Yoshino, the poet sings that the snow has piled up and no one comes to call. He carries on the loneliness of the mountain village in the preceding poem, placing himself in a hut in the depths of Yoshino.
Line 1 is the same as the opening of the Kokin Wakashū poem by the monk Kisen about his hut southeast of the capital.

Line 1 means "my hut is."
Line 2 names the depths of Yoshino in Yamato. Line 2 of 383 is the same.
Line 3 is staying shut indoors through the winter, and the poem pauses here.
Line 4 means "the snow has fallen and piled up."
Line 5 is the same as that of the preceding poem, so two poems in a row sing the loneliness of being shut in by snow.
