谷川にしがらみかけよ竜田姫
峰の紅葉に嵐吹くなり

Roma-ji: Tanigawa ni shigarami kakeyo tatsutahime mine no momiji ni arashi fuku nari
English Translation: Across the valley stream
set a weir to hold them back,
O Tatsuta maiden,
for upon the mountain's leaves
I hear the storm wind blowing
Meaning: Tatsuta Maiden, set a weir across the valley stream, for I hear the storm blowing through the autumn leaves on the peaks.
Commentary: Book Three Autumn Poems 247

Hearing the storm battering the leaves on the peaks, the poet calls on Tatsutahime, goddess of autumn, to set a weir across the valley stream to hold back the fallen leaves. The love for the autumn leaves is expressed as a plea to the goddess who governs the season.
Poem 190 in this book also sings of setting a weir across the River of Heaven to hold the flowing moon, sharing the conceit of stopping what drifts away.
From poem 243 through poem 253 in this book come poems on autumn leaves, from trees just beginning to turn to leaves scattering until they fill rivers and waterfalls.

First line, 'tanigawa ni', means across the valley stream.
Second line, 'shigarami kakeyo', is the command 'set a weir', echoing 'how shall I set a weir' in poem 190 in this book.
Third line, 'tatsutahime', is the goddess of autumn, the one addressed. The poem breaks after the third line.
Fourth line, 'mine no momiji ni', means on the leaves of the peaks.
Final line, 'arashi fuku nari', uses the auditory inferential nari: I hear the storm blowing, giving the reason for the command.
