むば玉のいもが黒かみうちなびき冬ふかきよに霜ぞ置きける
mubatama no imo ga kurokami uchinabiki fuyu fukaki yo ni shimo zo okikeru Lily-seed dark
Frost on the plain
花すすきかれたる野べにおく霜のむすぼほれつつ冬はきにけり
hanasusuki karetaru nobe ni oku shimo no musubōretsutsu fuyu wa kinikeri The fronds of silver grass
あづまぢの道の冬草かれにけりよなよな霜やおきまさるらん
azumaji no michi no fuyukusa karenikeri yonayona shimo ya okimasaruran On Eastern paths
大沢の池の水くさかれにけりながきよすがら霜や置くらん

Frost
なにはがたあしのはしろく置く霜のさえたるよはにたづぞ鳴くなる

Leaves falling atop the water.
ながれゆくこのはのよどむえにしあれば暮れての後も秋ぞ久しき
nagareyuku ko no ha no yodomu e ni shi areba kurete no nochi mo aki zo hisashiki Flowing on
ふらぬよもふるよもまがふ時雨かな木のはの後の峰の松かぜ
furanu yo mo furu yo mo magau shigure kana ko no ha no nochi no mine no matsukaze On nights when they fall not, and
The wind through the pines sounding like a shower
神無月木のはふりにし山里は時雨にまがふ松のかぜかな
kamidazuki ko no ha furinishi yamazato wa shigure ni magau matsu no kaze kana In the Godless Month
したもみぢかつはうつろふははそ原神無月して時雨ふれりて
shitamomiji katsu wa utsurou hahasowara kaminazuki shite shigure furerite Underleaves have turned to autumn hues and
かみな月時雨ふるらしおくやまはと山のもみぢいまさかりなり
kaminazuki shigure fururashi okuyama wa toyama no momiji ima sakarinari In the Godless Month
