Chūgū nyōbō uta’awase 7

まつむしのたえず鳴くなる女へし千歳の秋はたのもしきかな

matsumushi no
taezu nakunaru
ominaeshi
chitose no aki wa
tanomoshiki kana
Pine crickets
Cry endlessly;
The maidenflowers
For a thousand years of autumns
On them can rely!

7[i]


[i] Motozane-shū (66) with the headnote ‘Pine crickets’ (matsumushi 松虫).
