Autumn 37

Left (Tie).

契ありてうつろはむとや白菊の紅葉の下の花に咲けん

chigiri arite
utsurowamu to ya
shiragiku no
momiji no shita no
hana ni sakiken
Was there a pledge,
Perhaps, to turn together?
White chrysanthemums
Beneath the autumn leaves
Have burst into bloom.

ゆふづく日うつる木の葉や時雨にしきゞ浪そむる秋の浦風

yûzuku hi
utsuru ko no ha ya
shigurenishi
kigi nami somuru
aki no urakaze
The setting sun
Shines from the leaves,
Drenched with drizzle,
The trees washed by wavelets
As the wind blows cross the bay at Autumn time.
