(Sosei Hoshi) 22 Because the wind is blowing, it is wilting the autumn plants, so it is no wonder that they call the mountain wind stormy. (Fumiya Yasuhide) 23 When I look at the moon, I feel sad because it has shrunk, even though I am not alone in autumn. (Oe Senri) 24 This time, I will not even bring any offerings, but will leave the autumn leaves of Mt. Temmoku to the gods' will. (Sugaya) 25 If only I could be known by my name, the sanekazura vines of Mt. Osaka would be known by others. (Sanjo Minister of the Right) 26 If the maple leaves on Mt. Ogura have heart, I will wait for another visit. (Lord Sadanobu) 27 The Izumi River flows from the plains of Mika. I wonder how I yearn for you. (Chunagon Kanesuke) 28 The mountain village is truly lonely in winter, as if neither people nor grass will wither. (Minamoto no Munetsune Ason) 29 If I were to pick them with all my heart, would I pick them? The first frost has made the white chrysanthemums tremble. (Fukunouchi Munehisa) 30 Since our parting, which seemed cold in the early morning light, there is nothing more joyful than the dawn. (Mibu Tadamine) 31 By the time the morning dawn moon appears, the white snow touches the village of Yoshino. (Sakanoue Korenori) 32 The wind has cast a haze over the mountain rivers, turning them into maple leaves that cannot even flow. (Harumichi Rekiju) 33 On a spring day with the tranquil light of the morning sun, the flowers will fall without a trace. (Ki no Tomonori) 34 Who will I be with, even the pines of Takasago are no longer my old friends? (Fujiwara no Kofu) 35 People do not even know their true feelings. In my hometown, the flowers smell like the fragrance of the past. (Ki no Tsurayuki) 36 The summer night is still lingering, but dawn is fast approaching. Where among the clouds does the moon reside? (Kiyohara no Fukayafu) 37 The wind blows over the white dew on the autumn fields. Jewel after jewel scatters. (Fumiya Tomoyasu) 38 I swore to myself, without thinking, that I would be forgotten. How precious is a human life? (Ukon) 39 I grove through the shallow grass, yet why do I yearn for you so much? (Sangi to) 40 I grove, yet my love is revealed. When someone asks me, "What am I thinking?" (Taira no Kanemori)
