Mountain paths in autumn
Are lost, indeed!
For piled with scarlet leaves
Traces are their none…

An offering made
By the autumn mountains, so
Though the path might go unseen,
Who would lose their way?

Mountains’ scarlet leaves
Are so bright, that
Forging through along the paths
To visit is all you need to do!
