When various people went to view the scarlet leaves by the Ōi River in the Tenth Month.
大井河かはべのもみぢちらぬまはとなせのきしにながゐしぬべし

kawabe no momiji
chiranu ma wa
tonase no kishi ni
nagainubeshi | On the Ōi River’s
Riverside the scarlet leaves
Have yet to scatter, so
At Tonase’s bank
I would linger long. |

A chrysanthemum from the River Saho, in Nara.
千鳥ゆゑ佐保の川べを求め来れば水底霧りて咲ける花かも

Even though the plovers
To the riverside at Saho
Have come seeking,
The waters’ depths are misted
By the flowers’ blooming! |
