Bush clover at an ancient estate.
故郷のもとあらのこはぎいたづらに見る人なしみさきかちりなん
furusato no
motoara no kohagi
itazura ni
miru hito nashi mi
saki ka chirinan | At this ancient estate, does
The sparse bush clover,
So pointlessly,
With no one to see
Bloom and then scatter away? |
Bush clover in the grounds.
秋風はいたくな吹きそわがやどのもとあらの小萩ちらまくもをし
akikaze wa
itaku na fuki so
wa ga yado no
motoara no kohagi
chiramaku mo oshi | O, autumn breezes,
Blow not so fiercely!
For at my home
The scanty bush clover’s
Scattering around I do regret! |
'Simply moving and elegant'
