Ogi no ha mo chigiri arite ya akikaze no otozuresomuru tsuma to narikemu
Is there some bond between them, that the reed leaf should be the first thing the autumn wind comes calling on?
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Fujiwara no Shunzei
Aki kinu to matsu fuku kaze mo shirasekeri kanarazu ogi no uwaha naranedo
The wind in the pines has told me too that autumn has come: it need not always be by the reeds' upper leaves.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Shichijoin no Gon no Taifu
Hi o hetsutsu oto koso masare Izumi naru Shinoda no mori no chie no akikaze
Day after day the sound grows louder: the autumn wind in the thousand boughs of the grove at Shinoda, in Izumi.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Fujiwara no Tsunehira
Utatane no asake no sode ni kawaru nari narasu ōgi no aki no hatsukaze
Waking at daybreak from a doze, I find that at my sleeve one wind has given place to another: the fan I had grown used to, and now the first wind of autumn.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Princess Shokushi
Te mo tayuku narasu ōgi no okidokoro wasuru bakari ni akikaze zo fuku
I plied the fan until my hand ached; and now the autumn wind blows so that I have all but forgotten where I put it down.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Sagami
Akikaze wa fukimusubedomo shiratsuyu no midarete okanu kusa no ha zo naki
The autumn wind blows and gathers the dew; and there is no blade of grass on which the white dew does not lie scattered.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Daini no Sanmi
Asaborake ogi no uwaha no tsuyu mireba yaya hadasamushi aki no hatsukaze
Looking at daybreak at the dew on the upper leaves of the reeds, I feel a chill on the skin: the first wind of autumn.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Sone no Yoshitada
Fukimusubu kaze wa mukashi no aki nagara arishi ni mo ninu sode no tsuyu kana
The wind that gathers the dew is the same autumn wind as of old; and the dew on my sleeve is not what it was.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Ono no Komachi
Ōzora o ware mo nagamete hikoboshi no tsuma matsu yo sae hitori ka mo nemu
I too look up at the wide sky; and even on this night, when the Herdsman waits for his wife, must I sleep alone?
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Ki no Tsurayuki
Kono yūbe furitsuru ame wa hikoboshi no to wataru fune no kai no shizuku ka
Was the rain that fell this evening the drops from the oar of the Herdsman's boat, as he crossed over?
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Yamabe no Akahito
Toshi o hete sumubeki yado no ikemizu wa hoshiai no kage mo omonare ya semu
Will the water of the pond at the house where I am to live out my years grow used to the reflection of the meeting stars?
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Fujiwara no Nagaie
Sode hichite waga te ni musubu mizu no omo ni amatsu hoshiai no sora o miru kana
With my sleeve wet through, in the water cupped in my hands I look at the sky where the stars of heaven are meeting.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Fujiwara no Nagato
Kumoma yori hoshiai no sora o miwataseba shizugokoro naki ama no kawanami
Looking through a break in the cloud at the sky where the stars meet, I find the waves of the River of Heaven restless.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Onakatomi no Sukechika
Tanabata no ama no hagoromo uchikasane nuru yo suzushiki akikaze zo fuku
The Weaver's robes of heaven are laid one over the other, and where they sleep a cool autumn wind is blowing.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Fujiwara no Takato
Tanabata no koromo no tsuma wa kokoro shite fuki na kaeshi so aki no hatsukaze
The hem of the Weaver's robe: take care, and do not blow it back, first wind of autumn.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Koben
Tanabata no to wataru fune no kaji no ha ni iku aki kakitsu tsuyu no tamazusa
On the paper-mulberry leaves, and on the oar of the boat that crosses to the Weaver, how many autumns have written their letters of dew?
