Left

雁のねは風にきほひてわたれどもわが待つ人のことづてぞなき

kari no ne wa
kaze ni kioite
wataredomo
wa ga matsu hito no
kotozute zo naki
The goose cries
Competing with the wind
Come across, yet
From the man I’m waiting for
There is no word at all…

Right

大空をとりかへすとも見えなくにほしかとみゆる秋の草かな

ōzora o
torikaesu tomo
mienaku ni
hoshi ka to miyuru
aki no kusa kana
The heavens
Claimed back, they
Do not appear to be, yet
Somehow, they seem like stars:
These autumn grasses!
