explanation of line three:
the Japanese seem to appreciate the falling petals more than the ones on the branch: they wait for the petal snow with such anticipation that waitn becomes full of tension.
Now it is all over.

Such a soothing image, seeing beauty in the fallen petals with the calming rain.
