The Autumn mountains
Weave Autumn leaves
For offerings, so
Even I, living here,
...
Alone for you Autumn
Has not come,
Maidenflowers,
So why do you colour
...
A mountain cherry
Through the drifting mists
Faintly
Seen thus there is a lady
...
The Autumn wind
Blew and since that day
On Otowa Mountain
The tips of the trees on the peak
...
When the spring has come,
First flowering at my house
The plum blossoms:
In your thousandth year,
...
On Mount Ogura's
Peak, he is wont to stand:
The belling stag
Has passed many an autumn;
...
Buried in Winter,
How unexpected it is
Between the trees
To imagine flowers
...
White snowflakes
Falling constantly-at such a time
In fair Yoshino
Amid the wild winds round the mountain's base
...
Chrysanthemums in Autumn:
While they shine
I'll wear them in my hair,
For sooner than the flowers'
...
With no eyes to see
At all, they've scattered
In the mountains' heart,
These Autumn leaves are night's
...
