Geese at a hut among the paddy fields in the evening

akikaze zo fuku | The geese come to rest
Among the rice-seedlings before my door,
Rustling softly
At the twilight hour
With a breath of autumn wind. |

恋ひわびて片敷く袖はかへせどもいつかは妹が夢に見えける

Tortured with love
My single spread sleeve
I do reverse, yet
When will my darling
Appear in my dreams? |

Right.
我が心ときぞともなく乱るれど日だに暮るれば恋ひ添はりけり

My heart
With every passing hour
Is more distraught, yet
Even when the day does dim
Love is my companion. |

妹が家路みち黄昏になる時は垣根の花を訪ねてぞ行く

The way to my darling’s house is
In full dusk;
That is the hour
The blossom in the brushwood fence
I do go to visit! |
