Round Fifty

Left

あづまぢのさやの中山中中になにしか人をおもひそめけん

azumaji no
saya no nakayama
nakanaka ni
nani shi ka hito o
omoisomekemu
On the road to the Eastlands
Nakayama in Saya
Lies halfway; half-heartedly
Oh, why, this lady
Have I begun to love?

99[i]

Right

さびしさにやどをたちいでてながむればいづくもおなじ秋の夕暮

sabishiki ni
yado o tachi’idete
nagamureba
izuku mo onaji
aki no yūgure
In my loneliness
I leave my home and
Gaze about;
Everywhere is the same
Autumn evening.
