もう枯れる草の葉の雨となりalready withering the blades of grass in the rain

もうじき枯れてゆく草の葉に、雨が降りだした。枯れる前のいちどきを、雨がしっとりと濡らしてゆく。終わりに向かう草と、それを見送るような雨。秋の深まりの、しずかな景色。Rain has begun to fall on blades of grass that will soon wither. It moistens their one remaining spell before the end. Grass turning toward its close, and a rain that seems to see it off — a quiet scene of deepening autumn.
