はなすすきまねくたもとのあまたあればゆきもやられずあきのののみち

hanasusuki
maneku tamoto no
amata areba
yuki mo yararezu
akino no michi
Of blossoming silver grass
Beckoning sleeves
Are there many, so
I can go no further on
The path across the autumn plains.

はなすすきまねくたもとやたゆからんはかるのかぜにかへるひとなみ

hanasususki
maneku tamoto ya
tayukaran
hakaru nokaze ni
kaeru hito nami
Have the blossoming silver grass
Sleeves their beckoning
Ceased, perhaps? For with
The deceitful breeze across the plains
Returns not a single soul…
