Geese

Left (Tie)

あきのそらかりのなきくるくもゐをばよそなるひとのふみとこそみれ

In the autumn skies Geese call Beyond the clouds, To someone so far away A letter, they do seem.

まだきかぬみみにやあるらむはつかりのおとだにもせぬあきはきにしを

mada kikanu mimi ni ya aruramu hatsukari no oto dani mo senu aki wa kinishi o

I have yet to hear Them with my ears, it seems— The first geese Have made not a sound, but Autumn has come…
