Summer grasses as the season wears on

あさみどりむらむら見えし若草の夏とともにぞふかく成りける

asamidori muramura mieshi wakakusa no natsu to tomo ni zo fukaku narikeru

Pale green and Seeming to cluster all together The fresh sprouting grass stalks And the summer, too, Have grown deeper.

夏草はかりはつさるとみしかど鹿ふすばかりなりも行くかな

natsu kusa wa karihatsusaru to mishikado shika fusu bakari nari mo yuku kana

The summer grasses Have started to be reaped, or So it seems, yet The deer simply to rest Upon them, now make their way!
