Maidenflowers

あきかぜはふかずもあらなむをみなへししるもしらぬもおもふこころは

akikaze wa
fukazu mo aranamu
ominaeshi
shiru mo shiranu mo
omou kokoro wa
Even should the autumn breeze
Fail to blow,
O, maidenflower, still
Those who know you and know you not,
Would hold you in their hearts…

をみなへしおひたるのべにふきかかるあきののかぜにみをやそへまし

Maidenflowers
Growing in the meadows
Brushed by the blowing
Autumn wind o’er the fields—
O, how I wish it trailed over me, too…
