佐保川の汀に咲ける藤袴
波のよりてやかけむとすらむ

Roma-ji: Sahogawa no migiwa ni sakeru fujibakama nami no yorite ya kakemu to suramu
English Translation: Along the Saho,
blooming at the water's edge,
the fujibakama:
do the waves draw near and twist
their threads to hang it up
Meaning: The fujibakama blooming on the banks of the Saho River: do the waves draw near, twisting their threads, to hang it up like a garment?
Commentary: Book Three Autumn Poems 234

Seeing the waves lap at the fujibakama blooming on the banks of the Saho River, the poet fancies that they are trying to hang it up like a garment. Playing on hakama, trousers, in the flower's name, and putting into yoru both the waves' approach and the twisting of thread, the poem amuses with the idea of hanging clothes.
From poem 234 through poem 236 in this book come poems on the fujibakama, the 'wisteria trousers' flower, sung with words of clothing such as hanging, wearing and coming unstitched, in keeping with its name.

First line, 'sahogawa no', is the Saho River in Nara, also sung in poem 204 in this book.
Second line, 'migiwa ni sakeru', means blooming at the water's edge, ru being the attributive form of the continuative ri.
Third line, 'fujibakama', is one of the seven flowers of autumn, often treated as a garment for the hakama in its name.
Fourth line, 'nami no yorite ya', is a pivot word in which yori means both for waves to draw near and to twist thread, an associated word with hakama; the particle ya binds with ramu in the final line.
Final line, 'kakemu to suramu', means are they trying to hang it, as one hangs a garment; ramu is the auxiliary of present conjecture.
