Round Sixty-Nine

Left

をしかふす夏のの草の道をなみしげき恋ぢにまどふ比かな

oshika fusu
natsuno no kusa no
michi o nami
shigeki koiji ni
madou koro kana
Stags lie
Within the summer meadow grasses—
All the paths are lost in
Lush paths of love where
I wander lost these days!

Right

おもひかねなほ恋ぢにぞかへりぬるうらみは末もとほらざりけり

omoikane
nao koiji ni zo
kaerinuru
urami wa sue mo
tōrazarikeri
I cannot but care, so
Yet again to the path of love
I have returned;
My dislike right to the end
Has not endured.
