Kanpyō no ōntoki kisai no miya uta’awase 43

Left

ひぐらしに秋の野山をわけくれば心にもあらぬ錦をぞきる

higurashi ni
aki no noyama o
wakekureba
kokoro ni mo aranu
nishiki o zo kiru
When at sundown
Through the autumn mountain meadows
I come forging,
Lying not within my heart,
Brocade I am, indeed, cutting!

Right

秋といへばあま雲までにもえにしを空さへしるくなどか見ゆらん

aki to ieba
amagumo made ni
moenishi o
sora sae shiruku
nado ka miyuran
‘Autumn’ is when
Even as far as heaven’s clouds
Have burned, but
Why does the sky
Seem so clear?
