English translation:...close to the sounds of the current...
Explanation:
I think the kanji 近 is necessary.
...瀬音間近き...
瀬 = current, torrent, rapids, shallows, shoal.
I have chosen current in this case.
音=sound
間 近=nearness, proximity 間近い=near at hand

...close to the sounds of the current of the Natori River...
