Round Thirty

Left (Tie)

玉をぬく真野の糸萩かたよりにおのれみだるる秋の夕暮

tama o nuku mano no itohagi katayori ni onore midaruru aki no yūgure

Strung with gems The bush-clover twigs at Mano All align together In their own tangles On an autumn evening.

Right

待ちわたる時や来ぬらん白露の玉しく庭の秋はぎの花

machiwataru toki ya konuran shiratsuyu no tama shiku niwa no akihagi no hana

Has that long-awaited Time arrived, perhaps? When silver dewdrop Pearls will spread o’er the grounds From the autumn bush clover blooms…
