虫の音はこの秋しもぞなきまさる
別れの遠くなる心地して

Roma-ji: Mushi no ne wa kono aki shimo zo nakimasaru wakare no tōku naru kokochi shite
English Translation: The insects' voices
this autumn above all others
cry out ever more,
for it feels as though our parting
grows more distant every day
Meaning: This autumn above all the insects cry ever louder, and so do I, for it feels as though our parting is growing farther away.
Commentary: Book Eleven Variant Poems 706

The insects cry ever louder this autumn, and with them the poet weeps all the more, feeling that the parting from the departed grows more distant day by day. The sorrow of a parting receding with time is expressed by overlaying the insects' cries with the poet's own weeping.
This poem is found only in a variant manuscript line of the anthology; in the variant order it is placed after 608 in Book Ten. Poem 608 is also a lament saying that this year again the insects' voices bring tears, and it shares with this poem mushi no ne and the pivot word joining the insects' singing with human weeping.

First line, 'mushi no ne wa', means the voices of the insects. It is the same phrase as in the fourth and final lines of 608 in Book Ten.
Second line, 'kono aki shimo zo', means this autumn above all, the particle shimo adding emphasis and zo reaching to the third line.
Third line, 'nakimasaru', means cry ever more, joining naku, insects singing, with naku, a person weeping. The particle zo is answered by the attributive; the poem breaks after the third line.
Fourth line, 'wakare no tōku', means the parting far away, the distance of time since parting from the dead.
Final line, 'naru kokochi shite', means feeling that it grows so, inverted with the lines before.
