Left — Maidenflowers

うつろへるところありともをみなへしのべのふるさとわすれざらなむ

Faded
Spots they have, yet,
Maidenflowers
At an old estate among the fields
Never will I forget!

Right

あきののにあだなのみたつをみなへし花さかぬまはしる人ぞなき

aki no no ni
adana nomi tatsu
ominaeshi
hana sakanu ma wa
shiru hito zo naki
In the autumn plains
Faithless rumours, alone, arise
Of my maidenflower—
But while she is not in bloom,
There’s no one knows, at all!
