.吹降や花に浴びせるかねの声
fukiburi ya hana ni abiseru kane no koe
windy rain--
pouring over the blossoms
a temple bell
The bell of the Buddhist temple suggests transience. After this rain and wind, the blossoms will have all fallen to the ground.
Shinji Ogawa notes that, grammatically, the sound of the temple bell is pouring on the blossoms--a strong and creative image.
