Left – Chrysanthemums

きくをうゑて花おもほゆるけふよりはながづきをこそまちわたりけれ

kiku o uete

nagazuki o koso
machiwatarikere
I planted chrysanthemums, and
Wondering about the blooms
From today
For the Longest Month
Will I always be awaiting.

Right

よにふれどおいもしられぬものなればいまよりうゑつながづきのきく 

yo ni furedo
oi mo shirarenu
mono nareba
ima yori uetsu
nagazuki no kiku
My life goes by, yet
Old age I know not
So
From this moment have I planted
Chrysanthemums in the Longest Month.

nagazuki no kiku

Old age I know not
So
From this moment fading are
Chrysanthemums in the Longest Month
