Teishi-in ominaeshi uta’awase 17

たつたやまあきをみなへしすぐさねばおくるぬさこそもみぢなりけれ

tatsutayama
aki o mina heshi
sugusaneba
okuru nusa koso
momiji narikere
On Tatsuta Mountain
Autumn for all has
Not yet passed by, so
Proffered are garlands of
Scarlet leaves.

あきぎりをみなへしなびくふくかぜをこのひともとにはなはちるらし

akigiri o
mina heshi nabiku
fuku kaze o
kono hitomoto ni
hana wa chirurashi
The autumn mists
Have borne down on all
With the gusting wind
A single stalk of
Blooms seems to scatter…

Left

ひとのみることやくるしきをみなへしあきぎりにのみたちかくるらむ

hito no miru
koto ya kurushiki
ominaeshi
akigiri ni nomi
tachikakururamu
For man to gaze on you,
Is it so painful,
O, Maidenflower,
That simply in the autumn mists
You must hide yourself away?

Tadamine

Right

とりてみばはかなからんやをみなへしそでにつつめるしらつゆのたま

torite miba
hakanakaran ya
ominaeshi
sode ni tsutsumeru
shiratsuyu no tama
If I pick and look
How fleeting are
Upon a maidenflower,
Enveloped in my sleeves
Silver dewdrop pearls.
