Round 8

Left

花の色はかすみのひまにほのみえて山のはにほふ春の暁

hana no iro wa kasumi no hima ni honomiete yama no ha niou haru no akebono

The blossoms’ hues Between the shifting haze I briefly glimpse, and The mountains’ edges glow With the dawn in springtime.

Right

あだし夜の花にとききてゆく雁の名残もいとど有明のそら

adashiyo no hana ni toki kite yuku kari no nagori mo itdodo ariake no sora

To fleeting night’s Blossoms has the time come, and The departing geese leave A keepsake more brief In the skies at dawn.

This round, again, it seems difficult to distinguish between the the two poems.
