Bush Clover

つゆむすぶあきはきにけりむべこそはうちとけぬねにむしのなきけれ

tsuyu musubu

mube koso wa
uchitokenu ni
mushi no nakikere
All tangled with dewdrops
The autumn bush-clover has ta’en on scarlet hues
Truly, indeed,
There’s no relaxing, while
The insects cry.

のべごとにこころをやらむあきはぎのさくをりかねてちらさせじとて

nobe goto ni

saku orikanete
chirasaseji tote
To every single meadow
Is my heart a’drawn—
The autumn bush-clover
Blooms and I cannot pluck it,
Thinking not to make it scatter…
