Narukami no sukoshi toyomite      (A faint clap of thunder) sashi kumori      (Clouded skies) Ame mo furanu ka?      (Perhaps rain comes) Kimi wo todomemu      (If so, will you stay here with me?) Narukami no sukoshi toyomite      (A faint clap of thunder) furazu to mo      (Even if rain comes not) warewa tomaramu      (I will stay here) imoshi todomeba      (Together with you)

The Garden of Words: a tanka
Narukami no sukoshi toyomite      (A faint clap of thunder) sashi kumori      (Clouded skies) Ame mo furanu ka?      (Perhaps rain comes) Kimi wo todomemu      (If so, will you stay here with me?) Narukami no sukoshi toyomite      (A faint clap of thunder) furazu to mo      (Even if rain comes not) warewa tomaramu      (I will stay here) imoshi todomeba      (Together with you)
here's a tanka which i got from the japanese animated movie, Kotohana no Niwa (The Garden of Words). I just love the question and response written in the text.
