Karukaya

Left

しらつゆにいろかはりゆくかるかやのほにいでてあきをあはれとぞ思ふ

shiratsuyu ni
iro kawariyuku
karukaya no
ho ni idete aki o
aware to zo omou
With silver dewfall
The hues do change
Of the pampas grass—
Fronds emerge and autumn’s
Sorrow I keenly feel.

Right

よそめにはこともやすらにかるかやをなど秋風のふきみだるらん

yosome ni wa
koto mo yasura ni
karukaya o
nado akikaze no
fukimidaruran
When glanced at
So peaceful is
The pampas grass, so
Why might the autumn wind
Blow it to such confusion?
