Scarlet Leaves
Left (Tie)
秋されば暁つゆにいもが袖まきぎの山ににほふもみぢば
aki sareba akatsuki tsuyu ni imo ga sode makigi no yama ni niou momijiba | When the autumn comes, With the dawn, the dewdrops, as Upon a sweet girl’s sleeves, At Makigi Mountain Bring a lustre to the scarlet leaves… |

下染はおなじみどりにみし程も紅葉の色のうすくこきかな
shitazome wa onaji midori ni mishi hodo mo momiji no iro no usuku koki kana | First dyed All with green, When I gazed upon them, now The scarlet leaves’ hues are Pale and vibrant both! |

The Left has a lofty tone, yet the Right is still smooth. Thus, I make this a tie.
