あさぎりにかたまどはしてなくかりのこゑぞたえせぬ秋の山べは

asagiri ni kata madowashite naku kari no koe zo taesenu aki no yamabe wa

In the morning mists Having lost their way, Crying, the geese Call out ceaselessly From the autumn mountain meadows.

27

山ざとはあきこそことにかなしけれしかのなくねにめをさましつつ[1]

yamazato wa aki koso koto ni kanashikere shika no naku ne ni me o samashitsutsu

In a mountain retreat The autumn, especially, Is lonely. The belling of the stags Continually awakens me.
