The Middle of Autumn

Left (Tie)

くもゐよりてりやまさるときよたきのそこにてもみむあきのつきかげ

kumoi yori teri ya masaru to kiyotaki no soko nite mo mimu aki no tsukikage

From the clouds Does it shine most bright? On Kiyotaki’s Riverbed I see Autumn moonlight.

Right

人しれぬねをやなくらんあきはぎのはなさくまでにしかのこゑせぬ

hito shirenu ne o ya nakuran aki hagi no hana saku made ni shika no koe senu

That no one may know Quietly, does he cry? Until the autumn bush clover Blooms flower The stag’s bell stays silent.
