Round Eight

Left

風さむみゆふかげ草にかくろへてはたおる虫の声聞ゆなり

kaze samumi yūkage kusa ni kakuroete hataorumushi no koe kikoyu nari

Chill the wind Upon the evening grasses, from Whence, concealed, The crickets’ Cries I hear.

Right

誰がためとあやめも見えぬ夕ざれにはたおる虫の声聞ゆらん

ta ga tame to ayame mo mienu yūzare ni hataorumushi no koe kikoyuran

For whose sake Amidst the gloam Of eventide, might The crickets’ Cries I hear?

At present, ‘Amidst the gloam / Of eventide’ appears to have a bit more conception than ‘the evening grasses, from / Whence, concealed, / The crickets’.
