Pine crickets

Left (Win)

いまこむとたれたのめけむあきのよをあかしかねつつまつむしのなく

ima komu to tare tanomekemu aki no yo o akashikanetsutsu matsumushi no naku

‘I’m coming now’— Who might I trust to say that, On an autumn night Ever unable to greet the dawn The pine crickets cry.

Right

あききてはほどへにけるをあやしくもわがまつむしのおとづれもせぬ

aki kite wa hodo henikeru o ayashiku mo wa ga matsumushi no otozure mo senu

Autumn comes, and Time has passed, but How strange it is I pine for the crickets That never come to call.
