Osauredo amaru namida wa Moruyama no nageki ni otsuru shizuku narikeri

the tears that overflow
are drops that fall
from the grieving trees that grow
on Moruyama, I find
Meaning
The tears that brim over though I press them back, I find, are drops falling from the trees of grief on Mount Moru.
Commentary
Book Eight Love Poems II 447

The tears that spill out though pressed back with the sleeve are, the poet realizes, drops falling from grief, like drops leaking from the trees of Moruyama. Weaving in Moruyama, a famous place in Ōmi, and nageki, grief and firewood, as pivot words, the poem likens tears that cannot be held back to drops on the mountain.
The next poem, 448, also sings of the Forest of Grief, so two poems that liken grief to the trees of a mountain and a forest stand side by side.

First line, 'osauredo', means though I press them back with my sleeve, using the concessive do.
Second line, 'amaru namida wa', means the tears that overflow, beyond holding back.
Third line, 'Moruyama no', is a pivot word in which moru means both tears leaking and Moruyama, a famous place in Ōmi, left in kana.
Fourth line, 'nageki ni otsuru', is a pivot word in which nageki means both grief and wood cut for fuel, left in kana. The ki, tree, is a word related to the mountain in the third line. It is the same word as nageki in the second line of the next poem, 448.
Final line, 'shizuku narikeri', means they were drops, the assertive nari with the exclamatory keri expressing realization.
