Composed on silver-grass at the Poetry Competition in the Garden of the Empress Ikuhōmon’in.
ものごとに秋のけしきはしるけれどもまづ身にしむはおぎのうは風
monogoto ni aki no kesiki Fa sirukeredomo madu mi ni simu Fa ogi no uFakaze |
In many things Is the feel of autumn Made known, yet Most affecting of all Is the wind o’er the silver-grass. |
