木隠れや鼠の小社下紅葉
kogakure ya nezumi no shoosha shita momiji

hidden among the trees -
a shrine with mice and
red leaves on the ground

Tr. Gabi Greve

. Mizuta Masahide 水田正秀 (1657 - 1723) .


shita momiji can refer to the lower red leaves of a tree or the red leaves covering the ground.

Imagine a small local shrine.
After the harvest the farmers come throwing a handful of new rice at the shrine to show their gratitude.
And in turn families of mice come to partake of the rice . . .
