Oshimedomo yomo no momiji wa chirihatete tonase zo aki no tomari narikeru - Kinyo Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

惜しめども四方の紅葉は散り果てて
戸無瀬ぞ秋の泊りなりける

Roma-ji: Oshimedomo yomo no momiji wa chirihatete tonase zo aki no tomari narikeru
English Translation: Grieve as I may,
the leaves on every side
have all fallen now,
and it is at Tonase
that autumn comes to harbor
Meaning: However much I grieve, the autumn leaves all around have fallen, and Tonase, where they drift, is the harbor where autumn at last comes to rest.
Commentary: Book Three Autumn Poems 256

However much the poet grieves, the leaves on the mountains all around have fallen, and Tonase, where they drift down the river, turns out to be the final harbor of departing autumn. Through the conceit of autumn floating downriver with the fallen leaves to come to rest at Tonase, the poem depicts the end of the season.
This is the closing poem of Book Three, Autumn Poems. The opening poem, 156, is by the same author, so that the autumn book that began with the coolness of the day autumn starts closes with the harbor where autumn comes to rest, the beginning and end of the book answering each other. Taking up 'on every side' from poem 254 and 'the falls of Tonase' from poem 253, it brings the poems on autumn leaves and the end of autumn to a close.
Poems 254 through 256 in this book mourn the passing of autumn and bring the autumn book to a close.
The author, Kinzane, is Fujiwara no Kinzane. A son of Fujiwara no Sanesue, he rose to Provisional Major Counselor and also served as Master of the Crown Prince's Household. He was an active poet in the circle of Emperor Horikawa.

First line, 'oshimedomo', means however I grieve, a concession expressing regret for the end of autumn.
Second line, 'yomo no momiji wa', means the leaves of the mountains on every side, using yomo as in 'the mountains on every side' in poem 254 in this book.
Third line, 'chirihatete', means having fallen completely.
Fourth line, 'tonase zo aki no', means Tonase it is, autumn's, and zo binds with the attributive keru in the final line. It takes up 'the falls of Tonase' in poem 253 in this book.
Final line, 'tomari narikeru', uses tomari, a harbor, for the place where departing autumn comes to rest. It is the same word as in 'will it come to harbor' in poem 208 in this book, and it pairs with the day autumn begins in the opening poem, 156, to mark the close of autumn.
